Watched a primer video on how to use it . Saw it could create podcasts.

SO....... I have a 50 page complaint here filed in court involving huge financial fraud. Pretty technical lawsuit.

All I did was upload into Gemini Pro and said create a podcast.

Created a professional sounding podcast. A man and woman spoke. They knew the slang, inflections. They didn't just read the complaint but were really analyzing it and offering commentary and here is the thing, it was good commentary. Sounded ike someone who has a sound knowledge of how the securities industry and related frauds work.

Thats cool. I didnt even know it could do that, much less do it so well. The AI is moving fast. These new agents are likely going to replace operating systems or drastically change them.

I'm not even sure what you mean here.

I'm assuming you mean companies will roll out AI centric operating systems. Similar to Microsoft which has trying to pivot that way for a while

This has been a part of Notebook LM for some time.

Notebook LM will create summary videos in a similar manner now, along with all sorts of other things (like flash cards, flow charts, etc.)

Wish I could program the podcast to use a British accent.

I'm surprised to find that you can't.

Teams Premium will now turn meeting recordings into podcasts. Much more engaging than listening to an hour meeting on 1.8 speed.

This is related, so I'll share. I've provided ChatGPT a transcript and asked for an executive summary of things. Then I uploaded the author speaking, and asked ChatGPT to provide an executive summary taking into account the speaker's delivery. It correctly analyzed the delivery and changed some of it's findings based on how the information was spoken -- correctly, I might add. Sarcasm, dead pan delivery, etc. Pretty impressive.

Well I was able to program Gemini on my phone to answer in a female British voice. It was pretty cool

I've been experimenting with it a lot this week. It's pretty crazy for these podcasts. What's interesting is the user has to input all the sources for the AI to use, so the risk of random, hallucinated slop is close to zero. It will accept youtube videos as long as they have a transcript.

Yup. I uploaded a 556 page school choice bill. Produced a podcast that really explained it, gave analysis, and gave opinions. Was impressive

Correct.

If you have a Pro account the data isn't shared, either. It's like your own LLM with goodies for data you want analyzed.

I'm not sure if it has inter-app functionality on GWS yet. I haven't messed with it in a bit.

The Acquired podcast had a Rolex episode. In the show notes, they linked to an dissertation a friend of theirs wrote, so I put that in the bot and it made me an hour long podcast talking about it. I don't know, man...this shite is both scary and cool!
