From what I've heard it's quite good at doing audio transcripts already, so maybe that's a start.[/quote]

Well the thing with AI is that it is improving at an almost exponential rate, so if it is good now, it could be even better soon! 

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.[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]Twas a joke about youth speaking patterns. The behavior is more common with them.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda][quote=John McClane]Are you secretly listening to Gen Z podcasts? Because, um, like, that might be the problem.[/quote]
I don't know what that means, but I listen to podcasts with both old and young people and I'd say 95% of them have the problem I'm talking about.

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.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda][quote=FilmBuff]Maybe they'll train AI so it can edit podcasts.[/quote]

It wouldn't really save me much time, though, since I wouldn't trust it enough not to listen through again anyway.[/quote]

[quote=Yoda]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).[/quote]

[quote=seanc]I can’t do the 1.5 thing even with podcasts. The voice change is just too distracting[/quote]

[quote=John McClane]If your podcast doesn't have tangents then you are dong it wrong.[/quote]
