Prompt:

Fix this voice transcription, writing in the first person: So here’s a sort of fanciful mind change sort of talk essentially you are trying to tell people they should customize their IT a lot less whatever it may be figure out where the old value liners and that kind of stuff and the two examples that you use are the picnic cars which they make custom picnic delivery cars to basically like I have to look this up and verify it but they’re like in a moped so you don’t need a drivers license to do it are they very small so they fit in little alleys and I don’t know other stuff but it is something that is their business strategy to compare differentiation it’s based on customizing those little cars versus like the Albert Hein cars trucks which are just trucks and of course they you know paint them and fit them out to it they are they don’t like make the trucks especially for it and now of course that’s great for picnic rolling out but also you know it relies on having like I imagine like distribution centers and it also means if they expand out into the suburbs as one of the Dutch people I was talking with said that they can’t like it doesn’t work because they’re too small versus Albert Hein trucks and then the second one is looking at all the different types of screws that exist like you put that diagram of the different screw heads and be like do you really need all these types of screws it seems ridiculous but you probably could go through each of those to find reasons for it like the torque ones will go into like harder substances and those Tork ones are used by like Apple for some reason versus like you have other ones regular Philips ones that have softer heads and instead of breaking the thing you’re screwing it in by screwing it down too tight they’re designed to essentially break and make it so that you ruin the screw when it comes out

Response:

I’m discussing a talk about the idea that people should customize their IT less and focus on finding value in traditional systems. I used two examples to illustrate my point. The first example was about custom picnic delivery cars made by a company, which are small and designed to fit in narrow spaces, and their business strategy of differentiation through customization. However, this also limits their expansion into suburbs where larger vehicles are required. The second example was about different types of screws, where I questioned whether all the types are necessary and explored the reasons for different types, such as torque screws for harder substances and regular Philips screws with softer heads to prevent breaking the screw when tightening it.

Commentary:

I’ve been using ChatGPT to fix voice transcriptions, mostly done in Drafts app. The above does too much summarization, but I suppose you could ask it not to.

I’m eager to try this to convert talks (conference presentations, webinars) into documents. I’d have the break up the content for length, I think. Maybe slide by slide.
