OT: Google NotebookLM AI Tool

[Wandering Spectator]

I am playing around with Google's NotebookLM AI tool. It's designed for researchers and notetaking for students. It says, "It allows users to upload documents, ask questions, generate summaries, and even listen to audio overviews of their sources. Essentially, it's designed to be a personalized AI assistant that can help with various tasks like summarizing complex documents, creating study guides, and generating briefing docs, all based on the user's uploaded content."

Fascinating tool. You point it to sources or provide information to the tool, and it will generate a summary of the data you provided. It can even discover sources for you based on your input. After that, you can ask it questions via a chat. It will answer you based on the information you provided it. Then you can have it generate a "podcast-like" audio file. Two "people" discuss the topic. The AI-generated voices banter back and forth. One is the host and one is the expert. They only use the information/sources that you provided. You can even add an option to allow you to interrupt the discussion and ask more questions. The "cohosts" will pivot and answer your question before resuming their discussion.

Truly amazing technology. I can't imagine being a student and having this tool at my disposal.

I tried it with my most recent blog posts. I fed it the text of my post as the only source.

Check out the results. Click on the link, then click on the play button in the box near the top of the post. It's a 14:27 listen.

There are a few little issues, but as the saying goes, this is the worst it will be. It evolves constantly.

Is anyone else using anything like this? If you have kids in school, ask them about it. Are they using anything like it?

Does it still time you out after 9 minutes forcing you to start over again? It was a problem a while back towards the beginning. It is cool though. I had it telling me what to do next on RDR2 lol.

I used chat GPT to figure out the amount of taxes I owed when I was filing for an extension on my federal taxes a couple weeks ago. Seem to work quite well. (For those who may not be familiar, on your federal taxes your entitled to an automatic extension so long as you pay the taxes owed. Didn't have time to do my taxes before a major trip abroad, so I asked chatGPT to give me a number)

My 19-year-old daughter has used chat GPT extensively to research colleges for a freshman year. It seems to have been quite helpful. (She took a gap year this year,)
