I think I screwed up by using ChatGPT too vigorously at my freelance work

I think this is the thread where it starts:

Is there a way to condense machine-captured words into paragraphs rather than having to individually do it by hand?

Been doing some freelance paid work, which involves transcribing YouTube speeches into edited paragraphs. (AI will surely take this job at some point, but for now isn’t accurate enough, especially when speakers have thick accents or use unusual vocabulary.) YouTube already has a machine-to-text transcript function. The problem is, 90% of my work involves condensing it from many short lines into a solid paragraph. Giving one example: Suppose the speaker says, “Healthcare is really screwed up in…

Basically, these sermons are on Youtube, and Youtube offers an automated transcript that is in a format that needs to be winnowed down to paragraphs, and Chat GPT is helping with getting the formatting right and, I would assume, a sanity check where the OP watches the video while reading along to the transcript. I don’t know about the latter part–just what I would do. At least that’s what I think is going on here, but we’ll have to wait.
