ChatGPT seems to react to slightly unhinged prompts with more specific answers, in my experience. Example:
*You:*
What is the max length for the whisper API?
*ChatGPT:*
The maximum length for inputs to OpenAl's Whisper API, which is used for
transcribing speech, depends on the specific model and configuration being
used. Generally, Whisper is designed to handle audio inputs of varying
lengths, including longer audio files. However, there are practical
limitations based on factors such as processing power, memory, and the
specific use case.
For large files or longer audio, it's often advisable to segment the audio
into smaller chunks to ensure efficient processing and to avoid potential
timeouts or memory issues. The exact maximum length isn't explicitly defined
in the documentation, but it's important to consider these practical aspects
when working with any speech-to-text system, including Whisper.
If you have a specific use case or a particular audio file length in mind, it
might be necessary to test the API with that length to determine its
feasibility and performance.

*ChatGPT:*
The maximum length for the Whisper API is approximately
one hour per audio file.
