Okay. I take this bet. If your simple preprocessing step outperforms whisper on, say, me reading a random wikipedia article, I'll happily send you any 2-digit sum of money (denoted in dollars presumably), or donate it to a charity of your choice.
In retrospect I should have realized the corner I was painting myself here. If I'm right, you just paid bargain basement prices for an algorithm that can replace an expensive 2B parameter ML process. But, if I had offered what the bet is actually worth, it would look like I was trying to price people out of ever taking me up on it. Well, shit.
