I want to select the (GENERATED) subtitle instead of (MANUALLY CREATED) when I run the following line in python: 

YouTubeTranscriptApi.get_transcript(video_id, languages=["en"])

YouTubeTranscriptApi.list_transcripts(video_id) returns this list of subtitles:

For this video (N2bXEUSAiTI&list=PLBjE6akKYpgiFB-X-WL4oOU4GyVZGYwio) transcripts are available in the following languages:

(MANUALLY CREATED)
 - en ("English - Twitch Chat")[TRANSLATABLE]

(GENERATED)
 - en ("English (auto-generated)")[TRANSLATABLE]

I am trying to get the subtitles of this video(ID): N2bXEUSAiTI&list=PLBjE6akKYpgiFB-X-WL4oOU4GyVZGYwio
