In an interesting plot twist, it would actually be a net positive for said Tesla brand in the long run, too.

Video decoding is resource intensive. We’re used to it, we have hardware acceleration for some of it, but spewing something around 52 million pixels every second from a highly compressed data source is not cheap. I’m not sure how both compare, but small LLM models are not that costly to run if you don’t factor their creation in.

It’s unlikely to even replace good subtitles, fan or not. It’s just a nice thing to have for a lot of content though.
