Artificial Intelligence Taking Notes

ChatGPT now has the ability to take notes and summarize meetings. Fox News Radio's Eben Brown joins us with details on that technology. 

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Let's talk about help. When you're taking notes for a meeting.
How would you like somebody to give you a transcription? Well,
guess what chat GPT can do it. This is West
Michigan's Morning News, Steve Kelly and Brett Pakita, Evan Brown
on Fox on Tech on the liveline. Evan, thanks for
doing this today.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
You're welcome. Good morning, So good morning. We have.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
I have a daughter that's big on this. She's an
independent contractor, has a bunch of meetings every day with
different clients and loves how this helps keep track of things.
Can we trust it?

Speaker 2 (00:33):
Well? I think we can that something that the company
behind chat gpt is saying is quite accurate. Obviously, I
think the expertise of someone such as your daughter would
be to keep an eye on what it's doing to
make sure that it's accurate. But the actual, you know,
physical work of having to do the transcription is not

(00:53):
going to have to be something she's going to have
to do anymore. Right, she can rely on something like
this to do the hard work. It just you know,
she should keep her eyes on it to make sure
it is it's doing it properly. But that's kind of
how these things work right. So, but what it can
do is you can put your phone down on the
table when you have the meeting, everyone can introduce themselves.

(01:14):
Chat GPT will begin to understand and learn everyone's voices
and so as the meeting progresses, it's not simply recording
the you know, or transcribing the words being spoken. It's
notating who's speaking with timestamps and things like that. So
the end result is you get a pretty accurate and
broken down transcript of your meeting. And for a lot

(01:35):
of businesses that's very, very important.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
She says. And again I'm sort of afraid always to
foray into anything new that it can even set appointments.
So if John says let's all do this again Thursday
at five, somehow a suggestion for Thursday at five shows
up in her inbox. Wow, is that's kind of cool?

Speaker 2 (01:57):
Yeah, well yeah, you know that is neat right, So
what you know, but this is how AI is beginning
to integrate into our business operations and things like that. Now,
for the chat ept uh transcription, it is a paid service.
It's part of their paid business tiers. But if you're
a small business, you know, you might want to invest

(02:18):
in that business tier. It's not all that expensive, but
it might pay dividends for you. So that's you know,
that's a good thing, you know. But we are beginning
to integrate, even if we don't realize that, we're beginning
to interact with and integrate with AI a bit more
in our regular lives, business and personal. And in many
cases it makes life a little bit easier as it

(02:41):
frees you up to do other things. I mean, I
just used it to get my pool clean.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
Believe it or not, Wow, there does through your laptop
in the pool.

Speaker 2 (02:53):
Well no, let me explain. So my pool was broken
and it got fixed. But in the meantime the water
turned green and swampy and c linemey and frogs in
it and all that stuff. So we had to get
the water rebalanced. So instead of sitting there doing you know,
computation after computation about how much chemicals to add and
trying to observe the water, I would take photos of
the pool, the water condition. I would take photos of

(03:15):
the test block of the you know where you compare
the colors, and I would feed it into chatch EPT,
which knew how much water was in my pool because
I told of the pool volume, and it would tell me,
all right, do this, add this, add this much of
that chemical, and add this much of the chlorine, and
come back in two hours. Keep running the pool, make
sure you're brushing, you know, come back in two hours,

(03:37):
check again, and you know, give it back more data,
and it would go, okay, good, we've improved this, but
we still have this problem. And now this is a process,
a special type of pool cleaning process that I kind
of know how to do because I'm a pool owner,
but I was testing it to see didn't know how
to do it. And yes, it would make the same
decisions I would make, except it was doing all the
brain work for me, and and so it took the

(04:01):
same amount of time that it would have taken me
without it to get the pool clean. But the problem
is that the point is is that it knew what
to do from a math perspective and a chemistry perspective,
and it was able to lead the photographs I was
posting into it to get data. That's what was pretty
cool about it.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
Interesting tech this morning with Box News Radio, Evan Brown,
great stuff, Thanks for your time today.

Speaker 2 (04:26):
You bet
