I uploaded a couple of college papers that I wrote, including a Chemistry Lab report, without any other prompting and comes back with some pretty good stuff. One of my reports it clearly went out to the net (or combed its own database) and pulled in additional details that the "listeners" would find interesting. It is a cool tool. Great way to also sum up a document that you have already gone over as a way to refresh yourself on the information, like you need to talk about it at a meeting or give a presentation on it. The AI seems to be pretty good at picking out what to explore and ignore.
EXACTLY - this is the type of thing I mean. Being able to consume information that is normally hard (long or a lot of written text) now becomes something I can do multi-tasking (mowing the grass, walking, etc)
when ChatGPT first came out, I gave it some elementary school math problem, and it came back with the wrong answer but sound like it is so confident that it was correct. So for math, it is easy to tell that they are wrong, but with Podcast type of generation, it is harder to tell that it was wrong.
Agreed, this is one of the dangers for sure, especially if you're looking for this technology to help inform you. I tried to call that out in the video - it's a problem already today (people take reporting at face value) but will continue to be an issue with this type of tech
I'm doing a master's and decided to try this yesterday with one of the articles I haven't read. I have to say it was pretty cool. I'm still going to read it, but it's given me the gist of the article. I don't see any downsides to this.
i am also adding a pdf file what i want in that podcast. (that says i want you to focus more on Item 1, Item 7 ETC.). this makes podcast focus these parts in detail.(in general, annual report podcasts take 10-15 minutes, while with additional pdf, podcast becomes 20-25 minutes long)
I am happy to see Google stepping up in the AI race. They are my latest bet on outperforming the market. They recently hired an AI genius for a couple of millions of dollars so I guess we will continue seeing more interesting AI applications in the future.
@@mattderron They are at the ends of the sentences. They look like reference numbers for sources on a works cited page, but the numbers are higher than the number of sources that I have uploaded.
@@gregnixon1296 they reference places in the source material where they got the info. Just click on one and it will take you to the spot in the source material
So... now we don't know if a photo is real. We don't know if a video is real. And now we don't know if someone speaking to us is real. And no one is concerned......
Did Notebook LM create this out of FTC report or did it “ learn” from human podcasts that discussed the same. I would like to know how long AI can “ generate “ content without human source materials.
03:56 This sounds like I’m listening to NPR, right down to a dude that lip smacks 😂 I can assure you, this will be used inappropriately against some friends!
I hated the back and forth in AI, so-called banjo. In a constant interruption of the Filipino voice, it's torture. Why are we teaching the AI the absolute worst way the podcasters interact with each other? Or newscasters interact each other?
Yes and no - obviously Google uses your data for it's business, but in this example the sources I provided were already public documents. Obviously if you give it personal documents that's slightly different...although I'm pretty sure the privacy popup said "it doesn't train on your provided source data" or something to that effect
@@mattderron meh i'll stick with the 10 PE stock you can stick with the 60 PE lol. And you very well might be right, investors are not rational. it doesn't matter if the numbers make sense, it only matters where the crowd goes.
My view on that is P/E is only one measure. It may tell you if something is "cheap" but it won't tell you if it's cheap for a reason. That's why I say the growth rate has to always be factored into the valuation. In terms of China, I had a couple companies on my watchlist, but to me the geopolitical risk is too high since I'm pretty unfamiliar with the details of the country and how it works. But that's just my view.
💯The whole point of an individual podcast is the personal "unscripted" nature of it unlike the corny cheesy news with their one-liners. No one is interested in a bot podcast wtf
It’s for listening to thing that you wanted to read but didn’t want to read, and listening to it in a conversational way rather than it feeling like a lecture
Those of us that get sore eyes from all the reading that we have to do and would love to create our own summaries that we can listen to. Think how good this is for so many people with vision issues.
To me it's about being able to learn in alternative ways. Not many people will read a 70 page DOJ complaint, but will listen to a 12 minute podcast. I may not have time to go through Amazon's last 5 annual reports (100+ pages) but I can put on a playlist of about an hour of podcast overviews and listen while I'm mowing my lawn. Or...use the FAQ or Study Guide generator if you prefer reading, but don't want to read 500 pages. To me the point is that it greatly accelerates the ability to learn and be more informed on a deeper level about topics.
AI is akin to how a calculator does the mundane math tasks, so we can focus on the bigger problem. Have calculators replaced mathmeticians? AI is nothing more than a tool we should learn to use if we want to be more efficient and effective. Having more time to spend on the bigger picture can only enrich our lives. Indeed, AI is just as biased as any human, since the sources are human. If anything, AI makes it easier then ever to be unbiased. Its our responsibility to consider the sources on all sides, we have no more excusses.
I totally agree with this take - IMO it's about how it can make us more efficient to accomplish tings at a wider breadth or more depth than before...or both.
Saying 'AI' is of course cool and in fashion but technically this isn't AI (and most times the term is used it's really not AI). It's not learning from material it's just summarizing materials a human has fed it with code provided by a human. It's not learning and forming 'its own' opinions.
This is my first time hearing about this level of technology.
Thank-you for the information!
No worries!
is there moss on it?

I tried it today for the first time too, I have never been more impressed with technology as I have with this! This is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!
It's pretty awesome
Wtf , cant wait to upload all the annual reports year for year and enjoy them on every train or car ride😂😂😂
EXACTLY - this is the type of thing I mean. Being able to consume information that is normally hard (long or a lot of written text) now becomes something I can do multi-tasking (mowing the grass, walking, etc)
my thought exactly. the annual reports are usually over 100 pages.
It took me 4 hours for annual report
@ to read?
@@Allen-L-Canadayes process to do podcast ai mode that it have 75 pages so less page it have it faster.

Helpful summary, and great use case ... thanks. I've shared with my students!

Just tried it, mind blowing!

Nice, that's awesome I'll have to try that!
That's mind blowing. Thanks for sharing
so if I have a book in PDF format or ePub format, I can feed it in and get a summary or Podcast of it
I don't know about EPUB, but PDF yes
I will be scared if near the end, Matt says that, "by the way, this whole UA-cam video was done by AI, not me"
Did I forget to add that part in? 🤪
This is amazing 👍👍👍🙏

Matt --- you say you uploaded a PDF but i can't seem to find a way to upload PDFS1
only text
When you create a new notebook you can upload all kinds of source types. If you’re just trying to use the default notebook you can only query it.
In the text that’s created on Notebook LM, there are small numbers, 1-12 in some cases. What do those numbers represent?
I'm not sure what text you're referencing?
@@mattderron They are at the ends of the sentences. They look like reference numbers for sources on a works cited page, but the numbers are higher than the number of sources that I have uploaded.

So funny when they talk about you. I was laughing so much 😅
😂 I know me too
Mind blowing for me
Wild!
Wow. Damn! This makes studying more fun. But we somehow I get the feeling this makes us intellectually lazy in the long run.
So... now we don't know if a photo is real. We don't know if a video is real. And now we don't know if someone speaking to us is real. And no one is concerned......
The next question will be....what is real? LMAO
Where are the usual comments about google being terrible that offer no suggestions for a better search engine
Wow! Mind blown! Scary…. but potential is amazing… still a little scary 😂
it's pretty crazy
the last thing that comes to my mind when dealing with an ai is scary lol. sad maybe
So now, one can create his own bubble alternate reality.
It is a bit scary.
Wow! That's scary good lol
Did Notebook LM create this out of FTC report or did it “ learn” from human podcasts that discussed the same. I would like to know how long AI can “ generate “ content without human source materials.
my understanding is that it only takes the source material and then adds some "natural human artistry" around how it talks about it
03:56 This sounds like I’m listening to NPR, right down to a dude that lip smacks 😂 I can assure you, this will be used inappropriately against some friends!
The poadcast is shit, because it uses the info that it wants. Sometime it didn t get the point.
I hated the back and forth in AI, so-called banjo. In a constant interruption of the Filipino voice, it's torture. Why are we teaching the AI the absolute worst way the podcasters interact with each other? Or newscasters interact each other?
Wow! 😱 😅
Yes free but takes all your data. They should be paying you to use it 😂
Well nothing is really free.
Yes and no - obviously Google uses your data for it's business, but in this example the sources I provided were already public documents. Obviously if you give it personal documents that's slightly different...although I'm pretty sure the privacy popup said "it doesn't train on your provided source data" or something to that effect
Dude Google docs is used by billions of people then think about that
I'm waiting for the video where at the end you will say: "The whole video was AI generated" 😄
I'm sure it's coming sooner than we think lol
matt...mchi is killig nvidia!!!!
is it though? 🤷🏻♂️
@@mattderron you wouldnt have replied if today hadnt happened 🤣
@cryengine_x well my original reply was going to be “yes if we’re only comparing the last month” lol

Maybe not a podcast. But a summary tool? Absolutely

The critique is far too harsh. 99.9% of people listening don't have the depth of knowledge that you do on the subject.
What was the critique?
So, I have to listen to some bullshitting for 12 minutes instead of reading a half-page summary? What's brilliant about this?
Did you miss the part of the video where I showed it create a FAQ and Study Guide (ie, half page summary) as well?
AI generated annoying people. Whoa
