While playing with NotebookLM’s podcasting feature, I decide to create a couple more AI “Deep Dive” discussions

Posted By on October 7, 2024

So let’s just say that I’m impressed with the ability to use Google’s “experimental” AI NotebookLM to not only summarize articles, but also to create fake podcasts (“fake” in search of a better word?)

Foreign Affairs Magazine So after preparing a post for Sunday, I mentioned the AI software experiment to my daughter and ask for an article she might recommend (Gospel Coalition)  … and then also to my friend and cybersecurity expert, Jeff (we sometimes discuss a Foreign Affairs magazine article over lunch)

Within 15 minutes I not only had a summary, an FAQ sheet and study guide quiz … but also a “Deep Dive” podcast on the articles. I’m still amazed at how far artificial intelligence has come! (listen below)  
 

Above is the Gospel Coalition’s Sept 27, 2024 article titled
Love Your ‘Good Kid’ Enough to Show Them They’re Bad

As for the second “Deep Dive” AI podcast discussion, here’s a summary:

Summary
This article from Foreign Affairs discusses the history of North Korea’s nuclear program and how it has become a major security threat to the United States and the world. The author, Sue Mi Terry, argues that the U.S. has failed to prevent North Korea from developing nuclear weapons, primarily due to inconsistent policies and diplomatic failures. Terry also explains that North Korea is unlikely to give up its nuclear weapons voluntarily and that a military strike is too risky. Instead, the author advocates for a containment strategy that combines increased sanctions, enhanced missile defense, and efforts to weaken the North Korean regime from within.

Above is the discussion of Sue Mi Terry’s article:

and Why They Won’t Give It Up
