What’s the point of the LLM if you have to read the transcript anyway to check it did not hallucinate? Just read the damn transcript.

I ask it to quote the section and it helps to find. But if you prefer reading the transcript that’s fine too. It’s not a commandment. It’s my sharing what works for me.

Fair enough. I was not criticising you, sorry if it sounded that way. I am just puzzled by instances where it seems an old fashioned approach (such as control-F in this case) would perform at least as well as fancy (and not always reliable) AI techniques.

The transcript is AI-generated sadly, so it isn't typo-free enough for Cmd-F always. Especially programming content gets messed up. "char" -> "car" and so on and so forth, but GPT-4 will correctly fix all that up.
