I just gushes about everything.
I can't imagine it thoughtfully critiquing things.
I'm just amazed though how well they nailed the sound of it all. The back and forth, the layer of one speaking over another at the right time, each sounding like your average podcast host in that light style. But the content sucked.
However nobody wants to upload their resume to a podcast generator and hear "Gee that's a bad industry, kinda wasted years on your life there" or something like that.
I hate how patronising these things are too. I tell them to forget that and just provide factual short answers.
Is this really all AI???? This whole Gladiator Podcast?
I can't tell, it is totally believable.
Really, this is too good, can this be confirmed if it is AI or not?
This is amazing.
But the NotebookLM is like a recorded pod-cast, so it can think about it before laying down a track?
And fine tuning on 15 minutes of the voice you're targeting makes it sound natural
But also, some people talk fast.
They'd have to add some random pausing.
Did notebooklm produce the text, and then they had real people read it out loud?
But after listening to a good 10 hours of it, I'm seeing the equivalent of ai slop and repetitive patterns in all of them :(
However that is beside the point. In both race and chess we want to know/reward the best human. People don't listen to podcasts to reward anyone or to find the best podcaster. So listening to a random podcast that appeals to you is much easier than watching stockfish vs Alpha go. The things you are describing are activities undertaken by very few for a living and are very binary. Most things are not like that and are much more likely to be disrupted by LLM spam.
Meanwhile I have dozens of human generated podcast subscriptions and even pay for some.
Hopefully that gives you an idea of the value seen in good human-curated content specific to interests.
Glad to see it's ready for production!
Far too annoying to listen to for pleasure.
