I'm sorry I'm being so weird.
With your pseudo podcast hosts?
With the auto-generated podcasts, it's mesmerizing. I can't stop. It's really weird. So Ben, I'm sorry. I was also sending Ben all these, obviously. Uh, you, you have now you've lost your, your gravitas voice. I don't know. I'm taking you a little less seriously right now. You get kind of back to, back to clown college.
It sounds like that's right. Yeah. I need to, uh, hang out with a bunch of germy kids again to, to get it back.
So to get it back. Um, So we, just to forgive the context before the context, the friend of the pod, Simon Wilson, had this blog entry that was on Hacker News describing this new feature from Google, from their Notebook LM, where they can generate podcasts from arbitrary material. And I've been entertaining myself by sending it RFDs and creating single podcast episodes on RFDs.
And they've just been super...
weird it's the only thing i mean that's that's my one word synopsis of them it's a very uncanny valley i don't know ben what do you think are you uh they get some things very right and other things very wrong and then there's those things in the middle which are wrong but you can't quite figure out why it's so weird or they just like slur the words in some strange way it's very it's very uncanny i agree
And they're very cheerful and they are very interested in promoting whatever document it is that you've put in front of them. They definitely believe whatever they've just read.
Lots of soundbites. Real, like, paid promotion kind of vibes. Like, you know, one of those paid promotions where, like, clearly the folks have, like, spent, like, half an hour figuring out what it's about, but not, like, three hours figuring out what it's about.
