Kdenlive added some OpenAI slop to the auto-subtitling feature and it doesn't even work compared to the old option. Just a bunch of broken downloads. Thankfully they didn't remove the one that actually works.
edit: The old one doesn't work now so I guess I have to subtitle completely manually now. Yay!
All the auto-subtitling tools Kdenlive has plugins for don't work in Kdenlive, but work just fine as standalone tools apparently. Thank goodness, subtitling this video won't be complete pain.
