- Google has again updated a laptop
- He can now search for the web and find sources for you
- It’s easier than ever to create a podcast ia
Google has updated notebooklm, its practical learning tool and its Podcast AI creator, so that it is easier than ever to add sources. Now you can “search for the web” on information sources on which it is transformed into a podcast AI, mental card or on which it can answer questions.
Notebooklm is designed to help you learn anything by breaking down large volumes of information and easily accessible reports and podcasts.
However, it should not be a genius to realize that his podcasts are so good that they could easily replace the real hosts of Podcast literally speaking of any subject, and this is where Google’s new feature leaves me a little moral dilemma.
Submit your sources
Since I run a Tai Chi podcast, I decided to try the new feature by asking Notebooklm to see which sources he would find on the subject of Tai Chi, and I was quite surprised at the articles he found.
There were academic articles on Tai Chi, as I expected, as well as articles from various Tai Chi websites, but also a Reddit discussion offering various perspectives on the spirituality of Tai Chi and a YouTube video.
Notebooklm takes all these sources and produces various media for you, including an audio preview (it is essentially a podcast) which plunged deeply into your subject.
This made me think if all these editors of Reddit articles and commentators were happy that I used their thoughts as fuel for a podcast generated by AI.
Credit where it is due
It’s not as if Google had added new capacities to notebooklm – you can still add any source you want – but at least you had to add it manually.
Having the web actively browse to find an organized list of sources for you, without really asking for permission from one of these sources, then transforming them into other types of media, seems a little questionable.
If you use Notebooklm only as expected-that is to say to find out more about a subject, I do not see a problem, but if these AI podcasts which are based on the work of others, for example, are used other ways, perhaps as income-generating podcasts, then it does not always seem justified.
