Where I’ve used AI is to summarize 90 minute videos that take 70 minutes to get to the point. That seems much more useful than trying to listen at 3.7x speed. Something I recently tried, with pretty good success, was downloading the subtitle file from a video, feeding it to an LLM, and turning it into an article at whatever level of detail I think would be useful. This can save hours and is much more enjoyable than listening to a bunch of chipmunks rambling on. Though the built-in AI on YouTube is often good enough to get the idea and avoid engaging that deeply with people just trying to farm attention.

tell me you're crazy without telling me...
