The popular open-source VLC video player was demonstrated on the floor of CES 2025 with automatic AI subtitling and translation, generated locally and offline in real time. Parent organization VideoLAN shared a video on Tuesday in which president Jean-Baptiste Kempf shows off the new feature, which uses open-source AI models to generate subtitles for videos in several languages.

Will is future tense in a way that it is definitely gonna happen. Would just means there is the possibility.

And yes, I am sure, that one could brute force a solution with having enough computing power and learning data. If it would make sense (ethical and sustainably wise) is a whole other question.

I am sure it can, because LLM are statistically systems as humans are as well for a great factor (just not as strict as a machine). If you have enough data with action and response to such cultural traditions, there is nothing that would suggest that a LLM would fail to replicate that.
