The ones they use for auto-generated captioning on movies and videos is still not quite there, it definitely needs to get better before it is sufficiently reliable imho.

Podcasts are increasingly about churning things out with high frequency, and it's obvious that little to no editing is happening in service of that.

It wouldn't really save me much time, though, since I wouldn't trust it enough not to listen through again anyway.
Oh I'm good with tangents. I'm talking about long pauses, ums and ahs getting left in, and small breaks to clarify things that add nothing. That kinda stuff. Just a lot of "air" and wasted time between the actual content of the discussion.
Most podcasts, this stuff isn't noticeable, until you compare it to a tightly edited one side-by-side. And then it's really, really noticeable and hard not to notice for, well, the rest of your life. As a result, I can be really, really impatient with podcasts, even ones I normally love. It's why I find myself listening to "Conversations With Tyler" a lot (and not EconTalk as much, even though I think it's great otherwise).
