–
Too late for epic quests. Too early for the AI utopia. Right on time for “Let’s add AI to the process” meetings and soul-draining busywork.

Changing Workflows: Using AI for Fact-Checking and Editing
By

The _character_ of those hours has changed a bit. Prior to reliable AI it was almost entirely correcting spoken English to be comprehensible in writing. These days I also do a much more robust fact checking process than I ever previously did for spontaneous utterances.

Impact of AI Transcription Tools on Labor Utilization
By
–
A data point: prior to AI tools being good enough to offload some of the work, my podcast transcripts were ~$250 of transcriptionist labor plus about 5 hours of work from yours truly. The first pass is now AI. So what's the impact on labor utilization for transcripts?
