(I have not done the math:) If you factor in 20-30 years of education that each typical white collar human requires as an entry point into their field, and the energy that goes into that, and the energy that goes into the continued upkeep of that human, the billions of seconds you can shave off menial work by pushing it all to an increasingly efficient AI are probably easily worth it, from a purely ecological perspec…

Only if you kill the humans or let them educated.

Otherwise AI comes on top

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Whisper (OpenAI 2022) and other recent dictation models are rather good. Whisper automatically punctuates sentences and usually gets just a few words wrong in my experience.

A few words per...?

Below 30% for all modern models.

It depends on the audio quality.

Artificial Analysis says Whisper 3 has a 10% word error rate, although it typically does better than that in my experience. When I use Whisper 2 in the ChatGPT app it usually gets 2 or 3 words wrong per paragraph of prompt.

You have no idea how many times you use it. Maps? Recommendation systems (the algo)? Other optimizations? BTW, to the best of my knowledge, dictation still has a high error rate.

Like it or not "AI" has become synonymous with generative AI, when most people talk about how much they use AI they don't mean the YouTube algorithm or the neural network that handles autocorrect on their phone.

I'm probably at 20 times a day, at least for random trivia. What would be great (and maybe it already exists) is a daily email report, formatted for Anki, that helps me remember the things I've asked ChatGPT.
