Google NotebookLM’s Raiza Martin and Jason Spielman on the Potential for Source-Grounded AI

[@BrianMosleyUK]

Started listening to this, and at 18mins in, realise the quality of this episode deserves a serious listen. Thank you for this insightful interview. I think I see the potential of this amazing app.

[@TBOBrightonandHove]

Wonderful and Inspiring. Simply wonderful. Our AI future on the whole is going to be great 🙏

0:42 the notebooklm hosts opening is sick!!

[@zhengngt5678]

Because there's a backstory: even if you throw a really disgusting or unbelievable word at NLM, the podcast it generates can always find a unique angle. With this premise in mind, it becomes clear why the host said that.

14:01 what I would love to see is the model doing a shallow crawl for secondary sources. I.e. if the article or book has linked webpages, list them and allow a one click adding of those to the notebook.

Notebook LM is a wonderful product.🎉

[@Hlbkomer]

So who is this mysterious engineer that came up with this idea. Why is he not here?

[@TheHowingFantods]

Wonderful product and proof-point-the big deal here is Gemini-the long context, MM input, steerability, et al.

[@SunnyNagam]

Rag tag group of 10 building a lil charmjng startup product inside one of the largest companies ever, diamond in the rough. It'd be hilarious if it starts getting more users than gemini chat

[@ahtoshkaa]

It might. Gemini chat is awful. Google ai studio is great though

[@ColinDuggan-s7b]

Like mentioned, it would be great to have a control for the level of depth/length the podcast gets into.

@30:00 “fake deadlines” - that’s funny but real

[@adco]

Let me start by asking are you the real person or AI?😮 I had to pause and listen to poop-fart. That media creator studio is so amazing. What a great job turning a joke into a thoughtful analysis of possibilities.

[@BrianMosleyUK]

This product makes an amazing book promotion, and also for a chapter deep dive. I used it for my book 'Uniting Hearts, Igniting Change : The Journey of Connection' and it's amazing!

[@marshallmcluhan33]

Whats the million dollar question?

[@Philosophizer2]

They remind me of redacted if they were chill

[@TearoDactyl]

Raiza's pronouns are me / me / me

[@JOHNSMITH-ve3rq]

Very milquetoast ….:

20:31 come on! Really?!?! I get that you want to go viral, but the biggest missing thing today is custom voice selection. Ideally voice cloning, but if you can't manage that, give us a decent English speaking couple! The only thing putting my audience off is the strong American bias.
