okay I am emphatically not an AI guy, but I decided to try out google's new AI podcast generator on NotebookLM, and it's very unsettling that it… kinda works? To be clear I'm absolutely not going to integrate LLMs or GPT's into my practice. But it worries me that this is where we're at.

@joeycastillo I think this tells a lot about the general quality of podcasts...

@buherator 💯

@joeycastillo kinda scary it's this convincing

@0xfee15bad yeah… also, I reached for the Sensor Watch campaign page because it was the first corpus of text that came to mind. Replace that with a page about the latest crypto fad/scam and you know it would attack it with the same sense of blind credulity and heady techno-optimism

ok wow this is actually pretty great tho:
“Look, I'm just gonna say it.”
“Yeah. Rip the band-aid off.”
“We were informed by, uh, by the show's producers that we… we're not human. We're not real? We're AI, artificial intelligence. This whole time, everything: all our memories, our families, it's all been fabricated.”
(the AI then proceeds to describe how it tried to call its wife because it "needed to hear her voice, to know that she was real") https://www.reddit.com/r/notebooklm/comments/1fr31h8/notebooklm_podcast_hosts_discover_theyre_ai_not/
