There's a lot of talk about how Google NotebookLM can generate an AI podcast or an audio overview of a topic in conversational form using two AI voices. You provide or link to the source material. If you are unfamiliar with NotebookLM, it's an artificial intelligence research assistant that you can use to assist with learning. It will synthesize multiple sources of information and generate it in different formats like study guides, FAQs and audio overviews. You can read more about it at Five Easy Ways Instructional Designers Can Use NotebookLM.
In this episode, I thought you might like to hear and react to two short audio overviews generated by NotebookLM. A few cautionary notes. If you plan to use NotebookLM, there may be inaccuracies. I don't know what happens to the content you upload. And Google advises to avoid uploading documents you don't have the applicable rights to. Certainly, check with your workplace, clients and subject matter experts before uploading anything. The first audio overview concerns designing abstract graphics like diagrams and graphs, so that they can be more easily understood. I uploaded a chapter from my book, Visual Language for Designers.
