If you're replacing a factual podcast with it, maybe you should care a little...
How can you be sure the podcast is factual, are you fact checking everything they say on the podcast?

That's really interesting, Whisper is generally considered the current state of the art in STT and I've personally never experienced errors like the ones you describe. I've actually never had an error from Whisper. First question, is there another STT you have used which works better for you? Second question, is there any reason your voice might be considered unusual, like having a strong Welsh, Irish, or Indian acce…
Yeah, whisper is pretty good out of the box in my experience, but the vast majority of the time I’m using it in my car. So the conditions aren’t ideal, or are out of distribution for Whisper. However CarPlay is detectable and common enough from what I’ve heard. Second, even if the transcription is correct, it cuts me off at inappropriate times. It’s hard to talk naturally without pauses. I haven’t used a better trans…
I’ve been using this for several weeks now and it’s replaced podcasts for me. I’ll just pick a topic and then ask for a summary and then ask clarifying questions. Other times I’ll just goof off. In one chat, I’m rewriting the Star Wars sequels movie by movie with ChatGPT. I’ve realized that I’m built to learn socially, and ChatGPT never tires of my questions or gets annoyed. One interesting story. My 15 year old kid…
How can you tell if ChatGPT is lying to you and what you're learning is total hogwash?

Every source of information has a bias, but with ChatGPT that's changing every time you hit "enter"

This is an absurd argument that you are just making for the sake of argument and you know it. There's a difference between someone getting things wrong and a LLM shamelessly making something up out of the whole cloth.
No; I'm much more confident in ChatGPT's accuracy than I am in a random podcast's accuracy. Podcasts tend to be relatively terrible, accuracy wise. If the alternative is learning from ChatGPT, your odds of getting correct information is substantially higher. Podcasts are entertaining! But not where I would go to learn anything.
Remember: If it’s free. You are the product.

The same thing happens with Polish, it's your typical Polish Chicago resident.
Can you make a compassion between polish / polish Chicago and any two US accents?
edit: It would appear so:
> Chicago is a city sprawling with Polish culture, billing itself as the largest Polish city outside of Poland, with approximately 185,000 Polish speakers, making Polish the third most spoken language in Chicago.

This is why I think the personal Jarvis for everyday use won’t eventually be in the cloud. It can already be done on local hw as you are demonstrating and cloud has big downsides around privacy and latency and reliability. Like you said it’s difficult to keep up with and to me it feels very much like open source stuff might win for inference.
And yet of all things word processing and spreadsheets are going to the cloud, or even coding. Not sure big players won't be pushing heavily (as in, not releasing their best models) for the fat subscriptions/data gathering in the cloud, even if I'd much rather see local (as in cloud at home) computing

Listen to better podcasts. :P
