I've tried it out with a paper I wrote and some of the references. The text-based summarizer is pretty handy. It provides links to the sources where it found what it regurgitates.
The podcast-creator... it's full of fluff, gets details wrong, and I cannot recommend it to anyone other than the person that wrote the paper.
For me/the author, it was a way have parts of the paper highlighted, which may encourage me to go back and expand those sections. For people that don't already know what the paper says.... well, it made shit up. Not cool.
edit: if anyone's interested in reading my paper, hit me up! I'm massaging it into the required format (grumble grumble word :( grumble grumble LaTeX :) ) for a local history journal and I'd love more eyes on it. It involves financial intrigue, family drama, mysterious women, and poetry about how awful someone's inlaws are. Also, lots of lawsuits.
this is what we get for opening the bag "dead dove, do not eat"
TBF, the Ars Technica write-up was more favorable. Also, I was wicked curious.
OH! It also just focused on the gendered nature of everything in my paper in a way that I didn't. The paper involved an 1860s divorce and a doctor who got her degree in the 1890s IIRC. Yeah, that's cool and all, but the 'podcast' kept circling back to harp on the 'trailblazing women' plotline in a way that I did not care for.
I mean based on podcast volume it would have to end up going there unless one or both of them ended up murdered in the process.
and I’d love more eyes on it
Oooh, shiny! Thank you.
HI I WANT TO READ THIS.
I hate podcasts. Doubly now so.
whoooooooooo's sloppin' my podcaaaaaasts?!
Let's hear a genuine Boston accent to prove we aren't AI.
Now that's just trying to do too much NFTs on stamps!
NotebookLM was really useful to my friend who has a humiliation kink which he satisfies by erotically roleplaying on Discord: he simply copypasted the chatlogs into the AI input box and received a personalized podcast of two AI voices kinkshaming him.
His primary complaint was that it wasn't longer.
Podcasts : 2020s :: talk radio : 1990s
been thinking this quite a bit too, yeah
Is it worse than Joe Rogan, though?
I recently discovered the joe rogan remixed as a 40k trooper yt vids and it is great. (Yes i know im a year late to the party). But yes he sucks, think it was amusing he talked like he was stoned as fuck and alex jones talked like he had just snorted all the cocaine in Volendam.
Oh… oh, let’s not give it ideas ?
It's AWESOME!
Fantastic, you throw stuff in, even in any language and it creates a podcast. Easily to digest, to get the basic idea. I tried it with a bunch of stuff already and shared with friends. Brilliant! When they add some custom voices and pair with video, it's going to be massive.
Any stupid dumb boring research paper and you get a short podcast! I still can't believe it!
Any stupid dumb boring research paper
You don’t deserve sentience.
"bro.. bro! hear me out! imagine, like, research, right? but as a bar game! c'mon bro it'll be so cool bro just check bro"
I tried it with a bunch of stuff already and shared with friends.
I hope your friends find a better friend.
having read your posts (crypto shilling??), this is probably not the group for you
@NoiseColor @dgerard are you lost?
You're a podcast bro, you have absolutely nothing of value to give humanity, please fuck off and never come back
Oh wait, you're actually serious.
