My mind is a bit blown. I read about Google's newly released NotebookLM in Tim Ferriss' 5-Bullet Friday. Tim pitched it this way: "I know everyone is sick of hearing about AI, but if you haven’t heard this sample podcast, which was generated from a simple article, it will blow your mind. Those are not real humans. NotebookLM is an AI-powered research and writing assistant that works best with the sources you upload."
I didn't listen to the sample. I wanted to see it in action for myself. I uploaded the .pdf of my book, Sweating Bullets, A Story About Overcoming The Fear of Public Speaking.
Listen for yourself. I didn't type a prompt. I clicked the button to create a 10-minute conversation between two people, and this is the result. Let me know what you think in the comments.
If you'd like to see the study guide created by NotebookLM, send me an email. I'm happy to share. -
