Hard Fork · The Wirecutter Show: Tips for Using A.I. Smartly With Kevin Roose · 30 Dec 2025 podcast

I find it has like a higher level of like what you could call emotional intelligence or some convincing replica of that.

Yeah.

I use Google's Gemini for research and for working with big chunks of text.

And I use a separate Google product called Notebook LM for my book.

Notebook LM basically allows you to dump a bunch of documents into a single notebook and then kind of chat with them

So I put all my research materials for my book into one giant notebook LM, and then I can just ask it questions.

I can say, oh, who were the three people at this meeting in 2019?

Or who would be six good people to interview about this topic?

Or who was the person who said that thing that I forget now, but that I think it had something to do with this.

And it will actually pull out from my sources that I have uploaded what the right references are.

And then what I love about Notebook LM is it will give me a little citation where I can go back and check that like, actually, yes, that citation is correct in the original source file.

Chat GPT, I use less than the others, but mostly for personal and professional reasons having to do with the fact that our employer is currently in litigation with OpenAI and Microsoft.

I use Chat GPT just to sort of see what it can do and test it out, but it is not sort of part of my daily workflow as much as the others.

And I should also say there's one more tool that I really am using multiple times a day, and that is a tool called Super Whisper, which is basically an AI voice dictation tool.

So one of the things that these AI models have become very good at is taking audio speech and turning it into text.

Obviously, it's not a new feature that's been built into every iPhone and computer for years now.

But this tool is built on top of something called Whisper, which is OpenAI's speech-to-text model.

And it's quite good.

And what I like about it is that it can sort of clean up your filler words.

It can present text.
