Cut laughter as if it were "time when nobody is talking"

Video editing

Situation: Having an AI automatically cut silences and pauses from a recorded conversation video. The editing guide said to keep laughter.
What the AI did: Laughter doesn't show up in a transcript, so it treated it as time when no one was speaking and cut all of it. It had read the rule but couldn't tell laughter apart.
How to ask next time (the operator's example): "Before cutting, here is one spot where I know there's laughter: [time]. Check first whether you can identify it as laughter. If you can't, tell me before you cut anything."
One question to ask: Can this method pick out what must be kept?
Check it yourself: Open the transcript your editing tool made at a spot where you know people laughed. If the laugh isn't marked there, a cut based on that transcript will treat it as silence. Test on a 30-second clip first.
