I took the Disney Second Quarter Earnings Report and ran it through Google’s Notebook LM. It took 90 seconds to make this report into the above podcast. What is Notebook LM? Ask your kids and watch them look at you like they have been caught red handed.
However, what they may not know is this super cool trick and now YOU can show them!
Just simply upload a PDF to the interface and in one click it generates a rich engaging podcast built on the source material. No prompts, no settings.
WILD! RIGHT?
The power of AI is much bigger than glorified search engines and funny animal images. There is also this ever present threat that AI is stripping creativity away from our cultural. Perhaps there is a middle ground, a more nuanced approach to this freight train of an evolution that is already here.
The assistive value of Artificial Intelligence is powerful. Sam Altman recently stated that kids are using ChatGPT like an operating system and it makes sense when you consider the array of functionality.
Imagine being able to digest your school notes or text books in podcast form?Not some robotic text reader, an engaging conversation that can make the source material far more digestible. How about organizing your notes, images, and handouts curating them in a manner that assists with your homework? This type of assist is not only efficient but it paves the way for a much more agile learning environment. AI is here, its not “coming soon,” its here NOW. Don’t fear it, embrace the potential, be cautious but be curious. I personally can’t wait to turn some really boring documents into podcasts for my own edutainment.
To think, If I had this in school, maybe I would have studied instead of putting the book under my pillow and hoping for osmosis.
