I hadn't heard of this before I read this newsletter, and it's a game-changer. As a writer, I can lose myself in the flow of writing, and my fear is that I will write something very specific about a character and then... forget? But by uploading my novel and with specific prompts, I was able to collate profiles on every named character in the book and can now review at my leisure. I'm trying to figure out how else to utilise this tool, because I want SUPPORT, not REPLACING. There's no space for AI in creative endeavours, but as a tool to interrogate "data", I think it's diabolically useful.
Hi Charlie, I agree that AI for support is ideal, not as a replacement for our thinking or writing. NotebookLM is, among other things, a useful tool for internal search — a way to find material within your own documents.
I hosted a webinar a couple weeks ago for the Media Education Lab on NotebookLM and was similarly impressed. Apparently future versions are going to allow a live person to interact with the two automated panelists, which would be pretty cool. It certainly does raise issues about synthetic content, and how the quality of these tools is such that it has already become impossible to distinguish an automated robot from a human being, at least some cases.
Even I’m currently hooked onto NotebookLM 📓 for AI podcast creation. It’s amazing how we are able to create engaging, and candid two-person (read robot) conversations based on our own local content.
Here are some of my views published today, what do you think? 🤔
