Why should I pay or watch ads to listen to someone tell me I need to • like and subscribe • who’s sponsoring them • a life story
... before getting to the small percentage of possible useful information therein?
I've taken to using Ai to summarize video content just to be able to review if the video even contains an answer or information which is relevant.
I know I'm just one use case, that I don't watch a ton of other content. It's usually how to do something or fix something or configuration of something. I've sat through countless ads and videos which just wasted my time and left me frustrated trying to find information.
Panning for gold through endless kaka.
That sounds interesting. Could you tell me how? Using OpenAI api to summarize transcripts or something?
I'll probably get hammered for this, but then again, you'll have to pay for API access anyway. I've been testing out notegpt.io (not affiliated). Exactly because of my reasons listed, and because I often have to research or do trainings, I needed ways to save time and 'sift' through lots of information. I used to just play videos in say 1.5 speed, but even then it's sometimes hard to stay focused or you might miss something and have to stop and go back. Sometimes language is a barrier too. Not to mention the ads. So for my own sanity, I've been testing that out. It's been pretty damn good actually. I can get by on the lowest tier and you can try it free too. Again it's not for everyone, but I'd rather give them money than Google for their Anti-customer behavior.
