- aurareturn 9mo agoIs it pointless? I find myself asking for summaries of videos more and more often.
- expedition32 9mo agoHa hilarious all these content creators started making long rambling videos to make more advertising money. I have always maintained that I can read text faster but literacy is going down the drain.
- wpm 9mo agoYou should find yourself asking if those summaries are actually accurate, faithful summaries of the video content at all. Like, is reading a digest version of War and Peace the same thing as War and Peace?
- aurareturn 9mo agoFor videos with low enough importance, I do not care if the LLM makes a mistake here and there. For videos where with high importance to me, I can watch it myself.
- kingstnap 9mo agoThey aren't useless, it's nice for finding timestamps of things, especially in long content like talks.
- wpm 9mo agoSo...something you could do with the browser's built-in ability to parse text files, which YouTube could simply serve the subtitles to you as?
