I hear that at first she stumbled, forgetting to insert the "r": "get to gips-- grips".

They're not 'bad quality'—they're automatically generated! That means they're written by a machine, not a real person who understands language. Naturally, there are going to be a lot of errors both major and minor.

Can I use such subtitles to improve my listening skills?

It depends on the quality of the auto-generated subtitles. If they're pretty good, they'll help you get the gist of what's being said. If they're bad, they really won't help you. In general, try to use content that has subtitles that were made by a human, preferably a native speaker.

I'd advise you strongly against that.
