There will always be a need for both human oversight and accountability, and this is a good example. I think the net result will be, eventually, more and better jobs. It's a better job to validate the transcriptions than to actually transcribe.

Another example in medicine, radiologists will start handling orders of magnitude more cases. But the number of scans done might also increase exponentially as costs likewise drop.

It's a better job to validate the transcriptions than to actually transcribe.

In the real world "better" typically translates to lower cost.

Which costs less? 1) Pay someone to transcribe a recording or 2) pay for a LLM transcription + pay someone to verify the transcription from a recording.

It is far from certain or obvious that #2 is actually "better".
