Auto generated closed captions from YouTube videos and WCAG compliancy

Does anyone have a view on whether the auto generated closed captions from YouTube videos meets WCAG compliancy for the success criteria1.2.2 Captions (Level A)?

The reason I ask is because the auto generated closed captioning is not always accurate to what is actually spoken in the video. E.g. phonetic sounds from different languages are misinterpreted sometimes.
