ePortfolios for Lifelong Learners "podcast" generated by NotebookLM

Talking with machines

Using Google’s NotebookLM, I added 50 eportfolio documents from my Drive. They were mostly journal articles. I included slides from a seminar I gave and a document I generated using Calude.ai. Then I used NotebookLM’s new “Audio Overview” feature to create this “podcast”. The LLM did a pretty good job of summarizing key points, but the references, especially to the slides, are made up: BS, or, bafflegab, if you prefer. Slide 37 was referenced several times. It was the end slide with the organization name and contact information. It will be a big improvement if Google adds the ability to edit the audio by editing a transcript.
