I recently tried out Bard's new feature that allows it to generate summaries of YouTube videos. I wanted to read a quick summary of podcasts posted on youtube to help me decide whether I want to invest time in watching a full podcast or not. However, my experience has been far from what i expected.
Half the time, Bard simply refuses to generate a summary, stating that it cannot generate text based on the video. Initially, I thought this might be due to the absence of transcripts for some videos. But to my surprise, Bard failed to provide summaries even for videos with available transcripts.I'm not sure if this is a bug in Bard's new feature or if Google is somehow limiting the use of Bard's capabilities.
I'm curious to know if anyone else has tried this feature and what your experiences have been. Is it just me facing these issues, or is this a common problem? Any insights would be appreciated.
