Blown away by the generative AI in NotebookML

(credit: Andrew Best, source)

Generative AI has mostly been a fun distraction; generating some fun memes, help rephrase a few paragraphs, or generate a rough draft of a doc. I tried the NotebookLM yesterday and I was blown away by it's sophistication and naturalness of the AI generated podcast. I updated the doc version of my recent blog entries since I restarted blogging. At the press of a button, it generated a podcast entry of 2 speakers discussing the content of my blog in a fun way. I uploaded the audio to audiogram and added a Gemini generated cover art. 

I didn’t edit the audio in any way, the discussion felt very natural and convincing. It even added interesting metaphors that I haven’t considered before, but will consider going forward. I started an unlisted YouTube podcast channel to host the audio. It’s about 17 minutes long. It’s a very nice summary of the blog so far.

I listened to it a few times, and am still in a state of shock at the uncanny realism and smoothness of the content and transition.
