This is getting downvoted but I actually quite appreciated it. Story is interesting enough I'll listen to the whole podcast! I can't do that for every single podcast link that I come across. There's not enough time in the year much less the day.

Yeah, hn will just downvote anything with the word ai-generated in it blindly.

It's AI generated, how do I know if it's accurate? It could be making up the whole thing.

If that concerns you, read the actual transcript. I honestly don’t care how accurate this is because beyond casual interest right now, I’m likely never going to think about this again.

That's why you should combine AI and manual work. AI is great to get a rough template for a story, or to rephrase sentences.

Take a look at the revision history of my summary (linked elsewhere in this thread). In the end I had to replace all the quotes and rewrite half of the paragraphs to make sure everything's factually correct, but the end result still has much better tone and phrasing than anything I could've written without AI.

Your summary is fine. That's different from what the OP of this thread posted.
