Transcripts of Luke Smith’s YouTube videos


disclaimer: The following transcripts were generated from auto-generated YouTube subtitles using the command-line tool youtube_transcript_api. They were then processed and segmented using the OpenAI GPT API (model: gpt-4o-mini), with low temperature and the following system prompt:

This is a transcript of an audio lecture. Divide it into several paragraphs. Add appropriate punctuation. Do not remove anything from the text except possible onomatopoeia. Preserve the meaning of the speech. Use a low temperature setting to ensure coherence.

As such, while the outputs aim to preserve the original text and structure, they may reflect two levels of transformation: (1) YouTube's automatic speech recognition (ASR), and (2) formatting and clarification by the GPT model. This should be kept in mind when reading/interpreting the transcripts.
