"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

They could, but they wouldn't be able to trap that functionality behind a paywall, so they're not interested.
It can get done by anyone with an open model in way less than a year, using your approach.
People run whisper on HA, and there already exist intention mapping packages. They've been around for probably a decade already. Pretty hit or miss... mostly because there isn't a ton of flexibility in the structure of the commands you issue it.
If someone wanted to use an online LLM to attempt to translate a complex whisper transcription into something an existing intention mapped would handle well, that's closer to a day's worth of goofing around rather than a year. I actually refuse to believe it hasn't already been done.
And if you're using an online llm to do that translation, I don't see why that can't be behind a paywall either.
Honestly for this task, I imagine offline models would be sufficient.
