LLMs are arguably worse at transcripts than older types of AI which predate this generative AI bubble pivot-to-ai.com/2024/10/27/o...
OpenAI’s Whisper audio transcriber makes up hospital treatments and medications
Machine learning for audio transcription is not perfect — you always have to check the output — but it’s often good enough in practice for real work. But OpenAI sells LLMs. When you sell hammers, e…

Very cool Casey, sounds like OpenAI's agent thing is extremely stupid and sucks and doesn't do anything interesting, and is also broken. Sounds like a really "compelling demonstration"
OpenAl launches its agent Hands on with Operator - a promising but frustrating new frontier for artificial intelligence How you feel about Operator will depend heavily on what you hope to get out of it. If you're looking for a polished virtual assistant to which you can confidently hand off shopping and research tasks, I suspect you'll be disappointed: at the moment, using Operator is significantly slower, more frustrating, and more expensive than simply doing any of these tasks yourself. If you're interested in the bleeding edge of Al progress, though, and want to get a sense of what the future could look like, Operator offers a compelling demonstration. Using it on Thursday reminded me a bit of the first time I took a ride in one of Google's self driving cars: half-baked though the product may have been at the time, it also represented an extraordinary technological achievement and seemed likely to shape our world for years to come. My most frustrating experience with Operator was my first one: trying to order groceries. "Help me buy groceries on Instacart," I said, expecting it to ask me some basic questions. Where do I live? What store do I usually buy groceries from? What kinds of groceries do I want? It didn't ask me any of that. Instead, Operator opened Instacart in the browser tab and begin searching for milk in grocery stores located in Des Moines, lowa. At that point, I told Operator to buy groceries from my local grocery store in San Francisco. Operator then tried to enter my local grocery store's address as my delivery address.
