| I found notebookLM to consistently make up about 20% of it's summary. Entertaining but unreliable. |

| The bantering of the podcast I found distracting and the breathless enthusiasm. I guess there was a way to make it more no nonsense? I found I lost content if tuned for brevity. |

| I've found notebookLM summaries to be too high-level and oversimplified to be useful. Hopefully in a few years they can go deeper. |

| I also like doing that for topics that I am tangentially interested in. One minor thing that I find annoying is that the narrators switch roles in the middle of conversation. They start with the female voice explaining a concept to the male voice and suddenly they switch. In the meantime I have identified myself with the voice being explained to. |

| Just listen to actual audio books... literally doing double the work for no benefit... why? |

| ▲ | blharr 7 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | There aren't a lot of highly technical audiobooks or ones that give the same specificity that would be the same as an academic paper | | |
| ▲ | wolvoleo 6 hours ago | parent [-] | | Not yet but it seems like they're getting to the point of AI narration finally being good enough to make any text an 'audiobook'. Having said that I absolutely hate the audio format, I only used it when I had to drive or when I swam lanes. But these days I do neither. | | |
| ▲ | coke12 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | No, reading verbatim from a technical paper is way too dense. You need a lot of filler words to slow it down and repetition to make it stick when read aloud. |

| ▲ | arthurcolle 7 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Writing a book takes like 2-3 years on average. Papers are published everyday. Having a cute two-person "conversational chat" w/ audio works for a lot of people vs. just reading a paper. "No benefit" to you perhaps. Don't generalize the lived experience. |
