On Thursday I got quite bored all of a sudden and started narrating an idea bouncing in my head into the recorder app. 20 minutes later I had a 500-word essay that was quite well-written after putting the transcript of the recording through the google Gemini app, instructing it to not mess anything with the original content. Then on Friday I did another essay, on a completely unrelated topic, and this one I talked for twice as long, and ended up with a 1000-word essay. Gemini summarized it (against my wishes, god it's stupid) to a few hundred words, but the point of the piece wasn't to make a checklist of things to do, it was to communicate why a certain task was important and what to focus on, but still, the output was great. I'm thinking I could publish the summary for the first part, and then expound on it, letting both gemini and my skills shine.
As I've written on this topic before, I was a firm believer in the crappiness of both the transcription service, and the gemini app, but turns out combining the two of them with the ideal prompt gives one a pretty decent result. Like, besides the speaking part, it wouldn't take one much more than ten or fifteen minutes to edit the piece, and another fifteen or twenty minutes to illustrate, and bam, ready to post. I realize if written maybe it could be around the same period, but I ain't no good at writing man, so this was amazing assistantship.
I need to delve into this more, if I can generate essays so easily, why not do it on a daily basis, while I'm doing my chores, while doing laundry, while on my walks, while cooking. Spend 15 minutes of otherwise unproductive time narrating an essay, 15 minutes of free time editing it and we are good to spend it somewhere useful, or send it to people who might benefit from the contents of it.
I'm legitimately excited by this. The same way I was when I discovered google maps '3d fly to destination' feature.
