Or just give up Q&A sites all together. They
live in a bubble that they sit on a treasure.

Any clue why? Simply because text will pretty soon
not be mandatory anymore for training of Chat bots:

Early 2000s: Automatic transcription services were
rudimentary, relying on basic speech recognition
software with limited accuracy.

2010s: The technology began to improve significantly
with the development of deep learning and neural
networks. Platforms like YouTube introduced automatic
captions in 2006, but they were often unreliable
and required manual corrections.

2016–2018: Major tech companies, including Google and
Microsoft, launched more advanced speech-to-text
services. These platforms utilized machine learning
algorithms and large datasets to provide more
  accurate transcriptions.

2020–2023: With advancements in AI and natural language
processing (NLP), transcription services became much
more accurate and widely available. Companies like Rev,
Otter.ai, and others began offering services with high
accuracy and specialized features (such as speaker
identification, real-time transcription, and more).

But ChatGPT isn't there yet?

Although ChatGPT itself is not directly trained
on video data, multimodal models (such as GPT-4's
ability to process images) are paving the way for
broader applications of video-based learning in AI.

So the cottage industry of training videos
will be the next target of knowledge harvesting?
Directly incorporating your professors lectures?

LoL
