Super crazy, scary AI podcasting with experimental NotebookLM
Posted By RichC on October 6, 2024
In September, I read a couple of articles (1 and 2) in the Wall Street Journal talking about coyotes in our suburban and urban America and sent a copy to Drew and Katelyn (their camera just picked up a coyote walking by the girls playhouse – click for video). Anyway, we’ve been seeing them for years in our neighborhood, but just figure we’ve been inching into their areas with development and to expect them? Obviously that is not so, as they seem to be thriving and seeking out areas one would not expect — like in cities like San Francisco.
But coyotes … as interesting a topic as it is … is not the subject. It is how Artificial Intelligence or AI is becoming more difficult to detect from reality. Last week I wanted to see just what Google’s experimental NotebookLM could do with one of the Wall Street Journal articles above. I expected a quick summary (below) BUT was shocked at the AI podcasting hosts discussing 
the topic “naturally” in about 5 minutes. AMAZING discussion based on the article all done by AI actors .. even slang, laughs and jokes!

Summary
The text details the history of the coyote in North America, exploring how it has evolved from a revered deity in Native American mythology to a pest targeted by ranchers and farmers. The author then discusses the unique traits of coyotes, like their efficient gait and their impressive capacity for adaptation, which allows them to thrive in a variety of environments, even amidst human populations. The article highlights the coyote’s complex relationship with humans, emphasizing the need to respect their presence and to avoid feeding them, which can lead to dangerous encounters. The author concludes with a reflection on the coyote’s communication through howls and barks, revealing the sophisticated social structure and dynamic interactions within their communities.
