My point was that the auto-generated messages belong into the transcription track of the
youtube video. That's where you'd search for them and click on them to get to a particular part of
the recording.

The chat is already messsy enough as it stands. Unless we really need to have information in it
as we did in the past for audio-only participants, i don't think we shouldhave this additional
metadata in it.
