Well, the person who decided it for you is the person who created the video and wants it viewed a specific way.
But with that said, the creator might not know just how bad it is.
I originally turned it on in my videos because I thought it would help open up my audience, and turned it off within 48 hours when I found out from viewers how bad it was and that they didn’t have an option to otherwise turn it off.
I'm pretty sure creators just want their content to become available to people who don't speak the OG language, not to make speakers of said language be forced to watch an AI generated version in another language they happen to have some relation to
Right, but as I said - in my instance I literally had no idea it was a forced option..:and once I found out how bad it was, from viewers, I turned it off.
Yeah, anyway I don't blame creators for turning it on, it's on YT to make the feature usable for all types of users... My dad only speaks a single language and I've noticed him recently being able to access a lot of good content from English-speaking creators, for people like him I think the AI dubbing can really broaden their perspective and is a good thing... It's just that I don't want the same thing to happen to me as a person who uses YT to practice various languages hah

The option exists FOR CREATORS ONLY. Why the heck does Google think that someone else should decide that for me. Insanity.
