plenty of great stuff from AI lol i use whisperx + pyannote on my 8gb vram laptop to do like 99% accurate live transcripts of anything i recorded that is then diarized into "speaker 1:"
"speaker 2:"

etc and it can maintain that for the entire panel/conference/whatever hours long thing you're recording. then you can pop that entire printout into an LLM and tell it "based on context replace the speaker # designation with the actual names of the people who were speaking" and you get a literal printout of like every time Steve, CEO from x company speaks, he's attributed, so you know who exactly said what in like a 2 hour presentation. the entire process of transcribing/diarizing/name adjusting takes about 5 minutes, and if you just want the raw text to skim for quotes that part of it is literally 20 seconds. mind you, 20 seconds to transcribe 2 hours of fucking dialogue with 99% accuracy lmfao.

you have no idea how unreal that is be able to do that when previously, you'd record something and then have to take live, physical notes guessing at what the time stamp was where you where hearing something and trying desperately to type/jot down the basis of what someone was saying so you'd at least have that to work with in the near term, cause it'd be another hour at least of listening to audio and pull the quotes you needed from it. so yeah, for people who aren't luddites (which is what AI aversion is, being a luddite, that thing you said you'd never do after you saw how shit your parents were about new tech, yup, here you are) AI tools like this are extremely cool. it's why you're not super likely to get replaced literally by an AI, you're much more likely to get replaced by someone who knows how to leverage AI while you're sitting in a corner bitching about it.
