Look at the amount of video that is being created: transcribing and subtitling is a huge task. But these are very useful tasks for many reasons: it makes videos accessible for all and especially for the hard of hearing, they are easier to view when playing audio is not suitable (like on the bus or train), they are easier to translate and publish in other languages and also very importantly: transcriptions make videos much more searchable: as long as image recognition is difficult and unreliable, text is the most reliable content for searches. Professional video editors also like full transcriptions of their video rushes (for example interviews, presentations or long speeches), because they help them to make faster and better edits. However, transcribing until the advent of Artificial Intelligence was a tedious and expensive manual process.
