Assuming the intended audience is also humans, "exciting" errors seem worse in this instance, so I find it hard to credit these marketing claims.

Seem worse, sure.

If it is or not, depends on the specific use of the transcription.

Consider "I went to Lenny's" being transcribed wrong by a human as "I went to Denny's" or by an AI as "Ivan to Lenny's".

Both are wrong, but if you get a human to check, we can be oblivious to the human mistake for the same reason it was made in the first place plus the effect where seeing text alters our perception of what we hear; the AI error being inhuman means we can spot it when the human error is imperceptible.
