In this part 3 of his Google NotebookLM podcast series, host Peter Csathy enables his "synthetic" AI-generated guest hosts to discuss "the great AI copyright debate: fair use, or not?" Csathy generated this episode by simply uploading the text of his recent article on the subject. The results are fascinating. The conversation smart. But very different than Csathy's original source material (which Google NotebookLM takes ... and runs with it).

Here is the link to Csathy's article on which today's synthetic co-hosts riff - https://themediabrain.substack.com/p/ai-and-infringement-how-the-supreme

In this Part 2 to host Peter Csathy's Google NotebookLM generated podcast series, NotebookLM's "synthetic" AI-generated co-hosts discuss themselves - i.e., what their AI-generated personas mean for creativity, art and society. The result is fascinating. So good - the convers-AI-tion, so smart. It's scary.

Csathy generated the episode simply by pasting the link to his latest newsletter in this "wonder app" - no prompts or instruction of any kind needed. Here is the link to the newsletter itself - https://themediabrain.substack.com/p/googles-notebookllm-something-just

Google just launched NotebookLM, an amazing new content generating AI wunder-app that, in Google’s words, is designed to be “your personalized AI research assistant.” NotebookLM can do many things, but its audio podcast generating feature is what really stands out.

In this episode, rather than host Peter Csathy telling you about it, he let's the app speak for itself. Literally. Peter generated this podcast simply by typing in his Creative Media website's link -- no prompts or instructions of any kind. The result — generated in minutes — is this fully throated podcast that features two immensely likable, enthusiastic and deeply human sounding voices (one male, one female, both of whom are "synthetic"). Yes, the Synth co-hosts mispronounce Csathy's name (doesn't everybody?). But apart from that, it's remarkable.

The Google NotebookLM app experience is so good, in fact, that it inevitably begs the question: who needs humans anymore? Which begs the logical next question — what precisely is the goal here with all of this generative AI “stuff”? Which begs yet another question: how are we humans supposed to keep up with this endlessly accelerating pace of transformational technology innovation?

All of which begs my ultimate questions to all of you: shouldn’t we all at least step back and reflect upon what we are doing here? Why we are doing it? And at what creative and societal cost?
