You have been paying a freelance transcriber to convert several thousand audio recordings and YouTube videos into Microsoft Word transcripts. She is paid by length, not by time. Having done manual transcription before way back in your own day, you know how exhausting it can be, and you pay her a very substantial rate accordingly. Money isn’t an issue; you have a big budget.
It’s been a month now. Her work is of great quality - virtually no errors, the transcripts are just as you asked for. But it eventually emerges that she’s been using ChatGPT or some similar AI bot to do nearly all the heavy lifting - she is hardly exerting much effort at all, other than scanning each transcript to catch the odd flaw here and there. What do you do?
- Jettison her and do all the work yourself for free, with ChatGPT
- Keep her, but insist on a big pay cut
- Keep her at the same pay rate, no change
