Was really surprised how good the audio summaries are the first time i heard them, like it’s genuinely fun to listen to one.

Still after a few you kinda see the patterns, but still really impressive (though from a learning about something on a deeper level perspective only okay-ish).

Speaking of patterns: the second part of the article (starting with “hey there, AI explorers”) screams “written by AI” to me (or at least heavily edited and if I had to guess probably NotebookLM ;). Really interesting how with some stuff you just instantly say: “sounds AI written”.

Yes when these are more customizable will be fairly impressive to create custom podcasts. Everyone really enjoys it the first time it seems! So they got something right.

The constant exaggerating and dumbing down to a 6th grade level does get repetitive though. I tested some out on my text and it was hallucinating and claiming I said things I've never said though.
