(obviously their not better than humans, but cheaper goes a long way)

no what large language models do is take an input and predict the next token that should come after that input, it generates "new" (not really it's just mashing together what many people preciously wrote, that's why it feels familiar yet is always poo poo, you already read it somewhere else just a bit different) text. you can't translate or transcribe using that, it'll be completely wrong and there's no way for it to ever be correct cause all it does is predict the next token, it can never actually read and understand a text to translate or listen to audio to transcribe it just isn't what it does

you're describing an autoregressive decoder-only model, what they posted is an encoder-decoder model that specifically goes from audio to text

right and LLMs are the former but they do use the latter to train the LLM and I'm talking about LLMs having no real uses. the ai transcribing is still dogshit compared to a live stenographer let alone a transcriber doing it after the fact though and I'm not sure it can ever get better than it is now

Fair enough, I filed all the Transformer, encoder (decoder) models as LLMs, but seems your right that it's only the autoregressive ones?

ai transcriptions suck but theyre useful in the sense that i can hunt down a specific point of a conversation and thats all i really need it to do.

"language model" technically means the autoregressive next-token-prediction ones but LLM is enough of a buzzword that people are calling other things LLMs now

ai porn is terrifying and already exists. it basically a consent laundering machine. its not technically the person because AI "generated" it. probably one of the most disgusting things in the universe.

it can translate from Turkish pretty well, better than other machine translators and even a lot of humans at parsing and expressing idioms. and Turkish students are using it to make their stuff sound better in English.

the next word is dependent not only on the previous word but on a moving window of multiple words.

It could maybe work if there was hardware that could generate realistic visuals in an interactive space to make it more like a video game.

From what I understand though it's mostly just 360 video. Which if you've used Google Cardboard or whatever, you get why that doesn't really work. The promise of AI porn is not passively spinning in a circle and not interacting with anything.

whisper saves a poo poo ton of time for transcribing. It’s of course not perfect like any ai poo poo and will hallucinate stuff, which is why you reread/listen to what it transcribed. The one person I know who uses it frequently enough says it accelerated the speed at which they are able to transcribe stuff by about 150%.
