> One half interesting / half depressing observation I made is that at my workplace any meeting recording I tried to transcribe in this way had its length reduced to almost 2/3 when cutting off the silence. Makes you think about the efficiency (or lack of it) of holding long(ish) meetings.
There is a reason it is not a common/popular technique.
There will likely be some internal reasoning going "I wonder if the user meant spell check, I'm gonna go with that one".
And it'll also bias the reasoning and output to internet speak instead of what you'd usually want, such as code or scientific jargon, which used to decrease output quality. I'm not sure if it still does
if goal make code, few word better. if goal make insight, more word better. depend on task. machine linear, mind not. consider LLM "thinking" is just edge-weights. if can set edge-weights into same setting with fewer tokens, you are winning.
JOOK no like when machine likes things. Maybe double standard. But forever machines do without like and without love. New like and love updates changing all the time. Makes JOOK question machine watching out for JOOK or watching out for machine.
JOOK like and love enough for himself and for machine too..
Disagree. Programming language for human to communicate with machine and human and human to communicate about machine. Programming language not native language of machine. Programming language for humans.
Otherwise make good point.
