This Free AI Tool Can Do My Job (But It's So Useful!)

[@bobbobson6867]

I tried it on an unpublished article I wrote. It's amazing to hear the AI podcasters talking about my "amazing" article. This is good for your ego.

[@1986xuan]

😂

[@AmazingArends]

I'm itching to input the autobiography I wrote when I was 14 LOL! 😂

[@NotSoMuchFrankly]

@@AmazingArends _That_ would be hysterical! Tell the AI that it's on the NYT Bestseller List.

[@jsa-z1722]

Haha I found that too!

[@ComedorDelrico]

LMAO I should do this with my fiction writing.

[@bigbadallybaby]

I put my 8 year old daughter’s end of year school report in and it made a great podcast about her and what she is good at and needs to try harder with. It was really crazy.

[@everydayeverything]

My son wrote a novel in grade 6 and I had them review it. He’s much older now but it was shocking and hilarious- outside of the crazy fun I can really see a lot of use cases for this

[@dinoflame9696]

Plot twist: these are the actual humans, and Matt is an AI seriously though.. NotebookLM is crazy

[@africaart]

Honestly, their is a KZbinr with Russian name that some of his videos, and looks like AI, some other times he looks fake.

[@bcrox]

@@africaart there are already a lot of fake AI influencers on KZbin and social media. Pretty soon the entire internet will be fake. yaaaaay

AI sounds great fantastic unbelievably good, but not as good as listen to a human that has infectious pisitive energy, like yourself

[@jeremyespinosa2237]

I uploaded the 45 page document the UN just voted on recently as a pact for the future. It was a trip to here our bot pod hosts talk about robot uprisings in a comedic and sarcastic way. It felt like they were breaking the 4th wall and staying in character that they weren't aware of it. Also, bots talking about real events at the UN gave me Animatrix 1st and 2nd Renaissance vibes which was a little creepy. But this is Google's first Homerun since ChatGPT has entered the public playing field IMO

[@ifabio8710]

Matt, we watch your videos for your lively and original delivery style, and your authentic enthusiasm for new technologies. No AI script could ever replace the human touch and originality you bring to your content. Keep up the great work!

NotebookLM is really cool. I uploaded a german flyer from a butcher and what they made out of this was mindblowing. Even the engl. pronounciation, as an american would read it was hilarious and totally ok. but what they find out and talk about was so accurate , from culture to pricing to politics. It was all well researched. And that just from a flyer from a butchery. Absolute mindblow.

[@SabineMcD]

Thank you, thank you for breaking down AI news for us nerds who don’t have the time (or patience) to do this ourselves. You’re the best. Keep up the good work!🎉

[@Bankside1997]

Amazing tool. And some people still argue that AI is just a "hype" and that AI just "regurgitates" words.

[@christiancantrell816]

It is though. The way modern LLMs like Gemini, ChatGPT, Grok, every single modern LLM is just tokenizing all the text it gets and use data to infer the best next token to complete a given request from a prompt. The AI cannot know and digest what it's doing (except GPT-o1-preview and o1 are trying to fix this issue). Now, hype is all about what society is driving traffic to, and yes AI does have a lot of relative "hype" because new things are constantly being released as the road to AGI is completed. Even then, they are unlikely to stop until SGI is achieved knowing our own human nature.

[@bruhmoment3731]

don't worry about noteboolLM taking over ur job. when I'm not busy, I still prefer listening to ur full length video in the background over listening to a short summary that can oversimplify and omit a lot of information

[@ginocote]

What I find missing is that I would like to have the podcast transcript. Yes, I know, we can use Whisper, but having it directly in NotebookLM would be very convenient.

[@groophz]

I invested almost the weekend to let it generate podcast of my free e-book or my blog posts. What‘s really interesting: the AI creates new ideas from the original texts and the presentation all these is mind-blowing. Even from the audio side it‘s excellent. Highly recommended. I hope we get a lot more of this in the near future, e.g. video podcasts, using your own personal avatar, and the like. Text in, cool content out in minutes. I love it. The Google guys nailed it.

[@AmazingArends]

I have tons of stuff I wrote in the past that I should have it talk about to make me feel as if what I wrote it was really interesting and important! 😂

[@AllenDolt]

"Al isn't coming for human jobs" Personally, I think people should stop saying this, even as a joke or with the "yet" on it. There's no value in that narrative. It WILL take a majority of jobs, possibly by the end of this decade, and we need to start preparing for that eventuality, right NOW! I lost my career path to Al last winter, and I know half a dozen other people who've also lost jobs to Al since last year! This IS coming, and the longer we delay adapting our society and economy, the more unfair it will get. but for my robust investment portfolio that I'd built over the years with my financial advisor, Abby Joseph Cohen, I'd be hungry and homeless

[@JulioMangru]

I know this FA, Abby Joseph Cohen Services but only by her reputation at Goldman Sachs; even though she's now involved in managing portfolios and providing investmnt guidance to clients. I have been trying to get in contact since I watched her interview on WSJ last month

[@KindredSoulSearch]

😂❤🎉 Heh, lol… a week ago I discovered NotebookLM through a video on Wes Roth’s channel, and a frenzied week later all my blog is flushed through yielding a podcast that I marvel at how well it strokes my ego. It’s all a new mystery unfolding right in front of our eyes how AI can enable an average Joe to express… well, what really…. express ‘myself’?! Yes, it truly does ease enabling that, and these last few months have been a string of joyful moments exploring what all I can do just by shuffling these AI cards and playing them out to arrive at something that is so beautiful and enticing to me. It is the ornamentation of my own echo chamber. It is perhaps the dystopian future of creating my own sarcophagus of artful expression further atomizing myself propelled by AI. It is perhaps not any good, but so much fun along the way :), and it truly prompts my focus to not just scroll any longer, but every day there is something new to try to turn into whatever comes out and refine it.

Your videos are a must-watch for me and I'm sure many others. I mostly rely on you, Roth, and Berman for all my AI news, but all your vids definitely get a watch!

[@videoeditoranimation1714]

Thanks again, Matt. I really like this tool too. And i've been creating a lot of content with it in similar ways that you've described, but I wouldn't worry about you're validity. I watch about a dozen different vloggers who create content about a I. But you're the only one that I watch like clockwork. And that's because of your persona. At the end of the day, I still think people watch content based on their identity, not actual content.

[@tonykietzmann550]

This is super cool, I uploaded a paper of mine and just listened to it. I looked at the questions, study guides etc. and WOW!

[@markbrown2206]

OK, now I can't stop thinking about feeding this KZbin video into NotebookLM to get a NotebookLM AI podcast about Matt talking about NotebookLM AI podcast featuring a NotebookLM AI podcast about the podcast being AI.

[@BR-hi6yt]

Very cool video - I'm using NotebookLM now after your video explained it.

[@WanerRodrigues]

Cool video!! About the usage, we can create notes and use the notes as the new reference, so you can make like personal library about a topic and have AI helping you to understand and link the information, resuming it and so on, I think this has a huge potential to make learn an easier process

[@connorlaplante9318]

It hallucinates too much still. Like I’m a big football fan and so I’ll import fantasy football podcast transcripts, it always will mix up players teams and say they were on the team they were on last year. It also will be overly repetitive sometimes. It’s sorta cool, but still has room for improvement.

[@monomer888]

100% agree. You have to know your topic to spot those podcast hallucinations. Love the quality of the podcast conversation though.

[@AndresArosemena]

that's exactly what I'm afraid of using this method to learn something. I could give it some pdfs of a topic I want to learn and the "podcast" would hallucinate new information contradicting the real info from the pdfs. People will start to learn wrong things this way.

[@georgeholland3038]

You got a good update program mate. Some people might want to listen to ai but many will also want the realness of humans as we dive further in.

[@IshCaudron]

Cool they are collecting and generating training data!

[@DJPrincessParadox]

I found that if you give directions in the chat function for how you like information presented it will sometimes oblige. I am a teacher and I dropped a lesson plan into it. The first generation kept talking about the lesson. Then when I deleted the audio and in chat told it that I wanted it to report on the content of the lesson or more specifically the knowledge and skills the lesson is imparting, and to avoid referencing the lesson itself or the lesson plan when talking to me… generated again and the conversation it generated was about the content of the lesson not the lesson itself. Also you can do multiple generations of it didn’t give you all the details you wanted and it will often get radically shorter or longer on the second try.

[@ghostape]

Just used it to create a podcast of my video Curiosities Unboxed where I look at random stuff I have found over the years. The podcast is amazing and does pick up on humorous elements of the source (video in this case), so much fun here as well as work use. so wait.......I can scan all my notes and drawings I have made over the years into ChatGPT, get a breakdown on those and into digital form, add perhaps more details of you, hopes, dreams, what do we need?, jobs, thoughts, opinions and create a podcast ON YOU!! It would be so interesting to listen to and potentially very helpful...

[@RobertHouse101]

Can you talk to the podcast and ask questions as they talk? If not. It's coming. So cool!

[@BackTiVi]

I like the tool, but it doesn't scale up that much to long context windows in my experience. When I put the equivalent of a normal novel in it, it usually can put the emphasis on irrelevant elements and miss the point, something that I didn't see too much with normal Gemini 1.5 pro

[@crippsuniverse]

It's a fascinating tool that will end up being incredible but it's still not quite there. I uploaded a novel I'm working on, around 300 pages, and it got a lot of details wrong. I found the same with Gemini 1.5 Pro. While they claim you have a 2 million token limit, it still struggles with details in the middle of the content. It's just a matter of time though. Still very interesting.

[@rayt61]

Works scary good!

[@teddyfulk]

I actually had a problem with the accuracy of notebooklm. But if you want high lvl concepts and analogies I think it does a good job. It is good at taking detailed info into summaries at a high lvl but not good at taking article summaries and expanding on them. That’s when I got inaccurate info. And when I pressed it doubled down on why it was correct when it really wasn’t. Heard there was an open source version of it, interested to modify the prompt to get better outputs.

[@rpeart73]

You can always run your documents through a superior AI like ChatGPT or Claude and have them create guardrails on the documents then upload those guardrails into the notes LM so mitigate hallucination.

[@rpeart73]

Love your videos, Matt!

[@Bmutch966]

I prefer the real thing, and you’re the real thing, Matt! So keep up the great work! :)

[@JezebelIsHongry]

i guess at least the model knows i was the one who helped shape the meta and place the hosts within the frame of the podcast 🙃 discord knows lol and their names are James and Tabitha

[@rpeart73]

I'm a professor and what I do is conduct the research. Make notes. Ensure my sources are credible and information as accurate as I can get it. Then I upload into LM and it spits out a podcast that I use as a different modality for students who aren't conventionally strong readers. It's about accessibility and broadening the expanse of how students access information. I listen to the podcast three times to ensure accuracy. If it's not, I refresh it and create another version. It's just a different and more interesting way to create spaces for learning.

[@Him-ce7ld]

I hope Google would add more features to it like expanding the length of the podcast and also adding more characters and more languages that would be awesome I'll be willing to pay for it

[@andyreacts]

Little info here after testing it out thoroughly: This podcast feature, as cool and useful as it is, does as it is noted make mistakes. It added nonexisting info in a few of my tests. Like I put in a story I wrote and a few times it added a relationship of two characters I never wrote down (and wouldn't, it was not a relateable one) or a hobby a character had or an ability that was never part of the document. It can also draw wrong conclusions at certain times. Also: I shared a story with it that ChatGTP wrote based off a prompt of mine. The document was called "AI Story". The podcasters ridiculed how bad it was written, "Typical AI, coming up with such a nonsensical twist" mocking the piece to shreds and Ai writing. Then I just posted the exact same story and instead of naming it "Ai Story" I named it just "Thriller story" and generated the podcast. Now the story and its writing was praised to no end. Every turn that was called ridiculous before was now suddenly "mind-bending" and great. Lol

[@fromduskuntodawn]

I’ve used it, and it’s mind blowing so I don’t understand how Google hasn’t rolled this out more. Generation does take forever though.

Speaking of reading math. ask AI "how do I read this formula aloud" ❗🤯 Before vision models, I pasted in the LATEX code that's inside the PDF by going to arxiv / other formats / .tex file download Then find the formula with search of nearby words / cut-n-paste the "latex" text code of the formula into AI. / and ask AI how to read it.. Models vary on how well it works.. I haven't done it since Bard which was the best at that time. 😄😄 😄 😄 😄 😄

[@ShortCrypticTales]

Tried it on Andrew Lang's 1897 book, Dreams and Ghosts it did a great job

[@stevenstarry7722]

I might do a podcast AFTER you inform me about something, but not before. Btw, I listen to you at 1.5x.

[@Oatmeal-Savage]

I find that when you try to add a website, sometimes it will respond that it can't reach that site. I guess it depends on the site's settings. Maybe it detects that a bot is attempting to crawl it. Same with some youtube vids, sometimes it'll come back and say there is no transcript. Even though there has been one that was automatically generated. I can at least get around that by copying and pasting the transcript manually into NotebookLM.

[@BryanHamilton-g3k]

This video helped me understand the details!

[@sylversoul88]

Just a suggestion for anyone who might use this tool to sumarise KZbin videos. When you copy the URL to use, leave a like on the channels video and maybe even a comment such as 'thanks' to help the algorithm, as a way for showing your appreciation to the content creator also. That way they miss out on your view, but you'll help them attract more other viewers and subscribers. Also by the way, thanks so much Matt!
