Recording lectures and using AI to transcribe note

I can't remember any professor not allowing audio recording of classes during my time (2011-2015). I remember a lot of students putting their recorder up on a table near the professor's podium. I know the new flavors of AI have changed things but just have your laptop record it.

My note taking is and was pretty awful and I do better by watching/listening then trying to write down and listen. I'm doing my MBA right now and having AI record and summarize for me. It has helped. Though my issue in undergrad wasn't tests for the most part, it was doing the homework. My masters is going much better in that regard lol

Are you kidding? Darrius Rucker sings like an old bullfrog croaks. Definitely not talented. And I've watched too much of Steffani on The Voice to be impressed by her singing. She is just not that good on any song, except the one where she doesn't have to sing, but raps instead. Hollaback Girl? Is that the name of it?

I won't go back and forth but this is objectively wrong. Like you don't think he objectively is singing when he holds notes. Wild.

If you assign written work, you have to assume that every submission is AI-written. It's a wreck, but you get to see tons of alternative facts you've never thought of before.
Well, maybe you should get better at communicating what you expect from the people that work for you. Simple as that.

You do know what I replied the way I did dont you CycloneErik.

Recording lectures and using AI to transcribe note

A long, long time ago, when I was in high school, they still had classes in shorthand. I needed a couple of free electives my senior year, and my advisor recommended I take the shorthand class. Did that ever pay dividends for me at ISU and graduate school for note taking; huge. I took a class in typing too, we tapped away on those old IBM Selectrics. I wasn't very good, but the teacher had pity on me and gave me a B, LOL. But again, learning to type like that sure paid dividends later on.

The funniest thing to me at the time is that all my buddies razzed me for taking classes in shorthand and typing, until they learned that 90% of the students in both classes were girls. !!!!
You are a smart man for taking classes with the girls. Oh, the short hand and typing was smart as well. I think we are chewing some of the same timelines as I took a typing class in high school as well. I had to drop the class at semester, the teacher caught me looking at the keys to many times and taped a sheet of paper over the keyboard. She felt sorry for me also and gave ma a C. She almost made me use a manual typewriter.

So what's your movie idea?

I have a family history involved with one of them.

In the late 1800s there was a very intense competition between two men (and by association, their teams/employees) who fought to collect and catalog dinosaur species fossilized remains. To the point they would despoil each other's teams sites.

The historical and scientific component would be interesting when given a human perspective. I like stuff that's based on factual happenings. At least it hasn't been done a zillion times.

The Dinosaur Wars, also known as the Bone Wars, were a fierce rivalry between paleontologists Edward Drinker Cope and Othniel Charles Marsh that transformed American paleontology in the late 19th century.

The Dinosaur Wars took place during the Gilded Age in the United States, roughly from 1877 to 1892, when Cope and Marsh competed to discover and describe new dinosaur species in the American West. Initially friends, the two men became bitter rivals due to personal differences, contrasting scientific views—Cope supported Neo-Lamarckism while Marsh favored Darwinian evolution—and a desire for professional supremacy. Their feud escalated into espionage, bribery, theft, and even the destruction of fossils to prevent the other from gaining credit
Bonus points for using the word "despoil "!

I don't really find those you listed as appealing but can Darius Rucker not sing? Is Gwen Stefani not in key?

What if Post Malone played, say, over an hours worth of Nirvana music remotely including all guitar parts?
