Gregory's Server@dalias @bedast speech recognition has used language models for decades now. It was one of original applications of language models, way before they scaled up to aping shakespeare.
But even without language models, the act of transcription is very close to generative ai, as its the task of predicting the next text token, given previous tokens and encoded audio sequence.
@varavs @bedast Then don't call it "AI".
But also, question what harms are coming out of the predictive models. The more they force the output to sound natural and fix misrecognitions, the greater the chance they're altering meaning. Same as autocorrect vs typed text with typos and misspellings.
