Let’s start with some word about what I remember about the flight and our first hours there… a video comment:

Out of this I got this transcript raw by Broadsay/Amazon which I was feeding into GPT-4 then.

The speaker is discussing a trip he took to Japan with his sons. The preparation for the trip took weeks, and included booking tickets, scheduling, and choosing to use the Japanese rail pass system. The day of the flight, the speaker’s sons stayed up all night, and were very tired during the long journey to Tokyo. To make the trip more comfortable, the speaker upgraded his ticket from economy to business class for a cheap price.

In the given transcript, the speaker is recounting the preparations made for a trip to Japan. The speaker mentions that they had prepared for weeks, far more than they usually would for such a trip. They had booked tickets, fixed schedules, and chose to use the Japanese rail pass system, which would allow them free access to all Japanese trains for a couple of weeks. The day of the flight finally arrived, and the speaker left for the airport on Tuesday, March 8th, with their two sons staying at their mother’s place nearby.

However, the speaker’s two sons, who are aged 19 and 24 and live together, decided to stay awake the night before, knowing that the flight was scheduled for the early morning. As a result, they were quite tired during the journey. To cope with this, the speaker booked an upgrade from economy class to business class for themselves at a relatively cheap price.

The speaker then describes their journey from Berlin to Amsterdam and finally to Tokyo, where they were supposed to arrive in the late evening or a few hours later. However, due to various unforeseen circumstances, the journey took much longer than expected, and the speaker and their sons were quite tired when they finally arrived in Tokyo.

Throughout the journey, the speaker observes various interesting things, including the fact that the flight had mostly Japanese passengers and that the flight attendants were all Japanese. The speaker also notes the cleanliness of the airplane and the kindness of the flight attendants.

The speaker finally arrives at their hotel in Tokyo, where they are greeted by the staff in a friendly and welcoming manner. The speaker is impressed by the cleanliness of the hotel and the room, as well as the various amenities provided, such as slippers and a yukata. The speaker also notes the view from the room, which is of a small garden.

In conclusion, the speaker provides a detailed account of their journey to Japan, describing the preparations made, the journey itself, and their first impressions of the country upon arrival. The speaker’s observations regarding the flight and the hotel provide valuable insights into the country’s culture and hospitality.

GPT-4 asked for a 400 words summary of the same transcript.

Uhhh – that’s straightforward phantasy what GPT is writing, that was not in the transcript. So ill gave to be more precise. I took the transcript, removed the time lines (tech infos) and asked GPT-4 to correct and improve this text. And now … Tada, we have a serious reflection of what I was actually telling:

So, what do I remember about the day we started our journey to Japan? We prepared for weeks, which was far less than what regular people do but much more than what I usually do. Normally, I just take a plane ticket or even go to the airport and choose a flight, and then everything will be fine on the ground. However, for this trip, we booked tickets, fixed the schedule, booked hotels, and decided to use the Japanese rail pass system which provided us with a free ticket for all Japanese trains for a couple of weeks.

Finally, the day of the flight was coming closer, and we left on a Tuesday, the eighth of March. However, my two sons who live with their mother across the street from me decided to stay awake the night before as our flight was early in the morning. We had to wake up by five, leave by six, and be at the airport by seven for the flight. We flew from Berlin to Amsterdam and then to Tokyo, arriving in the late evening or early morning.

My sons‘ decision to stay up the night before resulted in them being quite tired throughout the trip, which was difficult for them. However, I booked an upgrade from economy class to business class, which was available for a cheap price, so I had a comfortable journey. I could nap, sleep, and read my books. On the other hand, my sons had a hard time finding sleep in economy class.

When we arrived at Narita Airport in Tokyo, we were all really exhausted, and my sons were angry because they were hungry. It was important to feed them at that age, and we did so as soon as we could. Our mood improved a lot after we ate. We then needed to book certain tickets to get to our hotel in the city, which we did successfully.

We took the train system in Tokyo down to our hotel, which was located in a regular city area with a lot of lights but not in the main center. From there, we took our first walk to a restaurant to feed ourselves, and we could easily see the difference in our mood after eating. We then checked some stores, and we even went to Shibuya because I was too excited about finally being in Tokyo to not go anywhere. If you want to see Tokyo at its best, Shibuya is the place to go with its big crossing. It was great. So, that was our first day in Tokyo.“

That’s actually pretty good, very close to what I’ve had actually said. I think I can work with that to enhance with the media and classify.
