Well This Was Interesting

I was playing with notebooklm.google.com and for fun I entered a few of my recent blog posts. I asked it to generate a conversation. The AI generated what sounds a lot like a podcast discussing my blog. One host sounds a bit like Mike Rowe. They get a lot of the detail right, but there are a couple of glaring mistakes. (Read - EVIL - Print - Loop) I suppose I am contributing to the soup of AI slop, but I was suprised at how natural this sounds. Podcast

I also tried giving it some text files about Tic Tac Toe representations. It generated a remarkably good “Deep Dive” that really sounds as if it has an understanding of the text: Deep Dive

There are some “tells” that this is AI and not human, but I wouldn't be surprised if this could fool the average layman. In a few years, it’s going to be really hard to detect, though.

That overly friendly tone makes it so much more creepy... Skynet is near!

(And that first link is broken.)
