I am amazed at the amount of flagrant bullshit that is on youtube ads.. 😮
The latest best bullshit in slot was for "Gaia", a site that reveals all on ancient aliens that visited earth!
But there is a new best bullshit in town, it is "humancondition", that will explain the human condition and how to end all suffering!
Where do they find the fund for this bullshit and the suckers that buys into it?! 😮

What is wrong with Gaia ? I think it is tasty.
For the YouTube ads, I have evolved not to pay attention at all. I have no recollection of what ads it is showing.

I'm using a host file to block them ads on youtube.
With them youtubers talking about their sponsors, the amount of advertising is too much.

Use youtube premimum membership to block most ads. Worth it.

I know blocking is free, but it's not fool proof. I've used several versions. But they have bugs, they have update failures, etc. The version I use now is solid and well maintained.

6 euro's a month. That's a pizza each month.
There's no bugs in the host-file, as it is not software. There's no update failures either. "The" version is the MVPS hosts file. None other. You think of it as an adblocker, which it isn't; the host file blocks hostnames.
Meaning; it does not just speed up the loading of your page, it protects you from malware being served through those commercial lines. With the added benefit that it works everywhere, for each site, not just youtube.

And how often do ad-servers change their domain?
I've not seen a break in a youtube video once; I never seen a virus either. This machine is tested from USB boot for virusses once a year, and always clean. No virus checker running, no adblocker, just a text-file that you call outdated.
Now, for a fee, I'd update it

I have an MP3 file. It is an hour-long lecture on a topic about weather. I would like to find out ('seek') the exact time(s) when the word 'rainy' gets played in this MP3 file, without listening to the entire hour-long lecture.
Similar to finding a substring in a long string, but finding an audio clip within an audio file.
Does such a software functionality exist? My Google search didn't yield much.

I'd doubt it - it's kinda specialist stuff.
If you think about it, it needs speech recognition and MP3 processing, to get the timestamp.
There are open source SR packages though, like CMUSphinx Open Source Speech Recognition[^] for example which you may be able to modify to suit your need - but I've never used it so I have no idea how complex the whole idea would be (Guess: "lots").
Good luck!

Here[^], but it is an API, not a finished software.
Don't you have a trainee, or a teenager lying somewhere doing teenaging stuff ?

Never thought it would involve neural nets. Seems complicated enough.

It's complex stuff: you saying "rainy" in a lecture won't "look the same" as Herself screaming it at the TV!

Surely there should be something invariant between these two utterances of 'rainy'.

Broadly there are similarities, but ... most males speak at a lower pitch than most females, and have thicker vocal chords - so that will affect the MP3 data. And think about accents for a moment. I don't know about regional speech differences in India, but I'd suspect that there would be a significant difference in accent between someone from Dehli and a resident of Tamil Nadu (most of my Indian friends are [ex]Malaysian Tamils so I don't hear different regions enough to identify an accent)
Certainly the way a Glaswegian would pronounce a word would give a very different waveform to that of a Londoner, a Brummie, or a Liverpudlian. And then you get to Welsh or Irish natives ...
I don't think there is anything you could rely upon to identify a generic word as a part of a MP3 file without some form of speech recognition.
