Google Drive is adding support for automatically generated captions to videos you upload. 

Google is leveraging “speech recognition technology to transcribe the audio.” This feature is available for personal Google Accounts, but users “must request automatic captions after uploading a video to Drive.”

I mean, if google wants to set their money on fire by having multiple data centers running full force to apply "AI" to everything without people asking or any way to profit from it, that's on them.

I would complain about how much energy this is wasting in light of climate change, but this is innately unsustainable. Google will either widen up, or go bankrupt from the insane expense increase, given this doesn't make them any money.
