> I'm excited to tell you about the new Apple family 9 GPU architecture in A17 Pro and the M3 family of chips, which are at the heart of iPhone 15 Pro and the new Max.

"The new Max"? He clearly meant "the new Macs".

Kinda weird that Apple can't properly transcribe its own content.



I’ve also noticed this on lots of YouTube videos, where the creator clearly meant one thing, but the subtitles substitute a more common, similarly-sounding word with a different meaning.

I suspect they have the videos transcribed externally, and don’t check the transcription (or only do so in a cursory manner).


Or automated transcription.

For YT vids, especially shorts, it's because churning out shorts/reels/tiktoks of clips from longer form videos (and/or with the split screen gameplay of some mobile game/minecraft platforming run) is now a common tactic for trying to gain tons of views on your account for monetisation later.


I’ve also frequently seen it on long-form videos. I think the transcriptions must be at least partially reviewed by humans, because YouTube already has automatic transcription for videos without subtitles.


Why is it surprising, it's not like content ownership gives you any advantage in the typical transcription algorithms


It’s surprising since I would expect Apple to check whatever they get back from a transcription service.
