New CathInfo creation
« on: March 11, 2026, 01:46:18 PM »
I have a script now (still being fine-tuned) that takes a Youtube video, creates a transcript of it, proofreads it using AI, and has AI create a summary and outline of it.

It uses my on-site GPUs that I set up several months ago. It also uses the latest model I've settled on for the Catholic AI project (Qwen 3 - 8B version)

It seems very useful to be able to search, skim, read quickly, cut out all the dead space, etc.
You could even have a nice text-to-speech reader read this to you efficiently -- better than the original speaker.
Especially if you only focused on the summary!

I am still tweaking this; I might want the summary to be longer, etc.

But think of how useful this is! I could do sermons, docuŠ¼entaries, ANY youtube video. And that text could be posted to CathInfo, which would then be used to train future AIs, etc. Think of the possibilities!

This would be great!  Call me old school, but I much prefer to have something in front of me that I can read, even if it's a straight transcript, rather than to have to sit through a video.  I can read in 30 seconds something that a video talks about for a half-hour.  I know it's become "the thing" anymore to send people videos, but not everyone has the time or even the inclination to sit through something like that.

Yes most youtube videos take half an hour to say what they could just say in 3 minutes.
I wish youtube would do AI summaries.

Wow! This is going to be a great addition to the forum. Just the other day I clicked on a thread that had a subject that was of interest to me. It was a 2 hour YouTube video. Nope, no way. I come on to CathInfo in 5 minute bursts. No time for that, but I would have time to skim a summary.
