Abstract
A user starts playback of an audio or AV program, which starts up a large language model (LLM) such as a generative pre-trained transformer. The LLM follows the program with the user as the program is being watched. Audio is converted to text and video is converted to text-based description. The LLM essentially trains on the resulting 'corpus' so that should the user subsequently want to access part of the program using a simple conversational query about the program, the LLM can provide the answer.
