If you use GPT-4 with Browsing turned on and supply it with the title, it will find the page and use the transcript and you can ask it questions. Then you can look at the transcripts to find the spots and verify. Alternatively, if you have an AI-enabled browser you can ask it about the transcript once you open it.

I will do prompt injection in the next talk, just for you

I think that would be fun.

Wait, you’re the presenter!

No, I’m a blade runner character.

Where along the determinate in the matrix?

What’s the point of the LLM if you have to read the transcript anyway to check it did not hallucinate? Just read the damn transcript.

I ask it to quote the section and it helps to find. But if you prefer reading the transcript that’s fine too. It’s not a commandment. It’s my sharing what works for me.

Fair enough. I was not criticising you, sorry if it sounded that way. I am just puzzled by instances where it seems an old fashioned approach (such as control-F in this case) would perform at least as well as fancy (and not always reliable) AI techniques.

The transcript is AI-generated sadly, so it isn't typo-free enough for Cmd-F always. Especially programming content gets messed up. "char" -> "car" and so on and so forth, but GPT-4 will correctly fix all that up.

do you mean the browsing plugin, or using base GPT-4?
