Remember Duracell’s PowerCheck? The idea was that a strip built into the battery would show if the battery was good or not. Sure, you could always get a meter or a dedicated battery tester &#…
And a good day to you too. Not sure why you felt the need to be insulting, but anyway.
A transcript of the video
Would you happen to have one handy? Or are these autogenerated these days. Are they better than the autogenerated CCs?
Also there’s a source listed in the description, guess what it is? An article.
Yeah, which would require me to click on YT in the first place, which is already what I want to avoid due to a limited mobile data plan and YT being a wonderful drain on that.
I’m just trying to push the point that “just watch the original video instead” isn’t as great a solution for everyone as some people make it out to be.
No, it’s about me not being able to arbitrarily sit down and watch a video due to various issues like attention span, hearing issues*, limited mobile data and being at work, where an article or summary is much easier and faster to read and can be interrupted at a moment’s notice unlike a video which I’ll have to pause, scrub back through if I missed a detail and wait for it to get to the right point, and I can more easily search for stuff.
My point is that there seems to be a habit of dismissing the value of textual summaries in favour of “just watch the video” in much of the online world, where I’ll be looking for a quick explanation and get presented with some video instead. Some people don’t do so well with videos so it’s not “just” watching the video.
There are advantages to text that I hate seeing people ignore.
(Besides, how would you know I’m incapable rather than just unwilling; or why would you assume either in the first place instead of considering inability?)
* That issue applies to voice messages and phone calls too. While videos occasionally have good CC, I haven’t found them to be reliable or ubiquitous enough. Additionally, they present the speech in fragments and usually are just as hard to search through. Either way, videos are a “sometimes” thing for me.
If it can make accurate transcriptions, sure. I’d enjoy the option of sending a link to an autotranscriber and get a conveniently readable version out of it.
You could add the link so people don’t contribute to ad revenue if you feel strongly! https://youtu.be/zsA3X40nz9w 💜
Someone already had, but good point.
Does someone have a content description so I can read instead of having to watch it?
Oh wait, here’s an article, nevermind.
Guess what you can also read? A transcript of the video dingus. Also there’s a source listed in the description, guess what it is? An article.

You should be able to disable auto play in Firefox.
In my experience, YT would still end up loading a section of the video along with previews of suggestion. Maybe that has changed.
For anyone that couldn’t bother reading the above comment, I’ve given a summary…

Preach brother. One of the best uses of generative AI for me would be transcribing videos into an article or tutorial depending on the content.
