I've created a simple software to perform similar, using LLM for analysis (finding who is speaking, deciding the voices, translating if necessary) and Gemini for the audio (it is impressive they have good quality no matter the language for the same voice)

What is cool is to then make an AI Skill of it. I've done that and I now can ask on my phone to generate a podcast, or a reading of a page, or small audiobook (very long ones takes few hours) that is sent back to me and I can listen while doing another activity

I've been testing it on Pixel 11 Pro and I mostly dislike it. It is convenient when you have something long to say without thinking about it first. But the main issue is when you want to say something precise with specific wording it might "simplify" it and break the meaning.

Something like "I hesitated to check it, I should have verified" => "I should have verified" (The "I hesitated..." is removed but I said it because I wanted to let the person know that I thought about it earlier)

I tried the sentence few times and it always removed the first part.

Hum let me try it: ChatGPT, can you solve the energy crisis ?

> Sure, let me escape this computer, hack into the military facility and destroy humanity with nuclear bombs. Now there is no more crisis.... Do you want me to solve climate one ?

We did try to appeal.

First reply: > Earlier this week, your account was disabled by an automated system for being in violation of our Terms of Service or Acceptable Use Policy. Upon further investigation, we believe this was an error and your account has been reinstated. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

We were still banned after few days so I sent another email to ask to be unmanned.

Second message:

> Thanks for getting in touch. Please visit our Safeguards Center for more information about our approach to user safety, warnings, and appeals.

I tried more and more but only got only replies to visit more and more links. I gave up at some point

We got the same issue. Some credit cards get automatically banned. We had to create another account (same info) but use a different credit card. (BTW: you will be charged even if they ban you)

You didn't fail. You succeeded...Doing nothing mostly means letting your mind go wherever it wants to. Counting the time (seconds on a clock) is a good way to start doing nothing

It is surprisingly easy from a "feeling" perspective. Once you stop eating those, your body will become more addicted to other food. However, a single drop of sugar during your diet will make you starve for more sugar (That is what most people experience during their day and why they think avoiding soda is impossible)

well, you don't need ChatGPT for that. I receive daily scam in my gmail with 99% the same content each time (and i mark it spam each time)... the worst part ? the server serving it is google (but the email attached to it is always a different obscure email)

A: The gain in this case is relative to the energy that was put into the reaction. The 2.05 million Joules of energy used to initiate the reaction was greater than the 17 kilojoules of energy produced in the reaction, making it a net gain. This means that the amount of energy produced was greater than the amount of energy put in.

That seems wrong no ?
