This is incredible!
Google just released their AI tool NotebookLM and one of its features is to automatically generate a 10-minute podcast from whatever you feed into it.
I gave it the first draft of my book Crazy Successful and this is what it created within 5 minutes: Two very real-sounding but entirely AI-generated podcast hosts discussing my book as if they were talking it over on a real podcast.
Overall, it’s very impressive. The phrasing is very natural indeed. There are a couple of mistakes like assuming I was a programmer in Silicon Valley (rather than the UK).
Also, the content is a little bit surface-level. It misses the deeper points I am making for each topic like perfectionism so I worry this may make the book sound less interesting and powerful than it is in reality. I suspect if I fed the 3 sections of the book into it and made a podcast for each one separately, we might start to pull out more of the original thinking and deeper strategies in the writing.
What do you think of it? Can you imagine listening to something like this? Let me know in the comments.
