Truly, truly stunning tech: the voices, the laughter, the spontaneous mannerisms in speech, improvisations, analogies, pauses, pitch changes are all indistinguishable from actual humans. And it generates podcasts from even just one line of text or when asking questions. Feels like a different era. We're definitely not in Kansas anymore. Wonder if this is how the late Victorians felt when they first saw an automobile?

[@derstreber2]

[@Mrree1078]

I'm a college lecturer and think it's insane how good this is. I'm using this to cover my powerpoint lessons into a summary podcast for students who missed the class or as revision. It also covers the lesson from viewpoints and analogies I never considered initially.

[@lkrnpk]

Maybe a not so sophisticated example but I uploaded my novel I wrote about Bitcoin mystery and was surprised how one of the two podcast ''hosts'' commented that Bitcoin is like old news now and maybe not that interesting, but then the other commented that the story takes place in 2013 back when it was all the rage and mysterious and it felt like some new world opening with decentralized finance etc. It's not just some dumb summary (which would be impressive enough to condense 30 000 words in coherent narrative in audio form sounding humanlike), they really add at least some bits of ''their own thoughts''. I wrote it in 2013 so nowhere in the novel I comment it from the knowledge of 2024... so ''they'' came up with that on their own. It is not perfect 100%... I think once they mentioned a character for the first time but said like ''and remember Mr. X, the businessman'' (although if I think about it, that might also be human trait that one host is asking the other one to remember, not audience) but impressive anyway

[@TheRealEmpowerMent]

Its insane!

[@bobbysands6923]

I'm a professor, and my colleagues use AI to do the same. My concern is that it will be lot easier for admins to develop on-line courses, and proctor them, and grade them, all via AI, putting us out of work. Tenure is not necessarily employment forever and we both know that. Good luck. But i'm doing my stuff manually.

[@Mrree1078]

@@bobbysands6923 I'm all for manual work and do not use AI for developing lessons and especially not for grading. I just want to give another medium for my students to use as revision and hopefully encourage them to revise more. The benefit this has is that it sometimes approaches the subject in a different view point not covered in class which is a good alternative for them to listen too. Also with students that have dyslexia its also another way they can take in the information from the lectures instead of reading the text of the presentation. I have a fear that AI will eventually take away our work, it may happen eventually but I'm sure our services are still very much needed :)

[@AI.Absurdity]

That podcast feature is mind blowing. They sound human. I put the screenplay to a movie in it and they discussed it. Incredible.

It really is INSANELY helpful to me. I am studying sociology and have to read insane amount of text... and this helps me listen to what the text says in podcasts, which is way more easy to digest. The voices are so realistic its kinda scary. They also balance the act of focusing on bigger picture points and details quite perfectly. I do hope they increase the possible length of the podcasts though!

[@DJWESG1]

Double check everything, I've asked it many socsci questions and it gets it wrong quite a lot. For all the reasons sociology told you it would. Edit** read the materials. Engage with the materials. Understand the materials. Don't skip anything, don't not allow the computer to deny you The experience of the materials. This is very important in sociology.

[@vicdelta31415]

The most fascinating part of this feature is the tonal change. I gave it a sombre topic for discussion and they kept the appropriate sombre to neutral tone throughout the podcast which was amazing to hear.

[@Unbridled-Whimsy]

Whoa that is interesting!! Dang, wish I had this tool a few years ago, maybe I wouldn't have dropped out of school lol

[@HardKore5250]

[@martiddy]

It's also quite amazing that when you feed a bunch of clearly fake information (like the Earth only being 3000 years old for example) the AI realizes it's fake information and talks about it as conspiracy theories instead of creating more hallucinations and misinformation. It's so good!

[@hueykratos]

this is so good, i wish they allow it to basically relate and reference info from a previous notebook/podcast so it doesn't feel like its a new podcast each time but a continuation and longer than ten minutes.

My 83 yr old dad maintains a long document of his "life story". I'll be using that as the source for a podcast. He'll love it!

[@duffthepsych]

Hey, thank you so much for this update. I had messed with notebookLM prior to the recent additions like the podcast simulation. I'm LOVING it. I'm a neuropsychologist, which means I test people's cognitive abilities for a variety of reasons. Often, I encounter cases that require me to research. So, I plugged in my notes and research I did recently for a patient regarding long COVID-19, cytokines, and mycotoxins from mold exposure as well as some deidentified information from his history and the resulting podcast episode was super helpful. I'm gonna use the hell out of this.

[@bobjones7274]

I'm a psychologist also, what do you think about this as an assistant for writing up reports on assessments? Upload test scores, have it convert stuff to percentiles, discuss the relative strengths and possible deficits?

[@duffthepsych]

@@bobjones7274 I think with polishing it could work. With scores and such, I would be very concerned about accuracy and potential hallucinations. I imagine we are going to see the rise of specific models made for report writing though. Ones that are designed to be specific to the field and hipaa compliant

[@Allplussomeminus]

... This has been said plenty of times ad nauseum, but the podcast feature is, quite frankly, a game changer.

Being able to see all the contents of your Drive and summarizing in a human-like overview is really powerful.

Well they're always showcasing bangers, but yeah they have started to release a bit more, they don't deserve the hate they get.

[@Juttutin]

My observer opinion is that they are far more 'product' focused than AI itself being the service. They seem to be looking for ways to release AI-centered tools, rather than just models. Of course, this being Google, any free-to-use helpful service is going to be helping them better profile the user for more profitable ad-targetting.

This could be an awesome tool to enable people to learn in a great way. Sad to see that - like it seems to be with every new AI development nowadays - the majority of videos about this is how to make money from AI generated podcasts. So, the question pops up if AI really improves us as humanity / society (as most of us hoped back then), or if it seems to propel us into capitalism-overdrive with sooo many people wanting to make the most buck out of it (talking about us kind of "average joe" people, not ai centered companies), as a few minutes searching for ai on youtube might suggest.
