Just Two AIs chatting about a book on Artificial Intelligence
Some people have been amazed, and others disturbed, by what’s happening with AI – sometimes both at once. Around the time my book was published, a new tool came available from Google called NotebookLM (where the LM stands for Language Model, which is a term describing the family of generative AIs such as Chat-GPT, Gemini or Claude).
You can put the content of your book (or anything else) into its own notebook and it guarantees to keep it private, while also doing amazing things such as produce study guides, timelines and summaries. But the most mind-blowing of all is that it can also produce a podcast around the content.
Have a listen to these two virtual voices taking a “deep dive” into the contents of 50 AI Ideas You Really Need to Know, speaking in very human terms for around twenty minutes. With zero direction from me. Just wow:
And, as I keep saying to people, nothing stands still. The technology will only improve. Many people have been excited when I’ve shown them this and what a great tool NotebookLM can be, and have started using it for themselves. Others have been disquieted. I understand their trepidation, but as I say in the introduction to the book:
“the single, most important thing you can do to understand AI is to experiment, play, practise and perfect your own working with it. Don’t be afraid – dive in, glimpse the future and remain a part of it, instead of being left behind”
