My manager exposed me to Google's Notebook LLM. It can be used to create AI generated podcasts.

There was so much fluff, so many "yah"s, "mhmm"s, and "right"s. It was surprising to see so little content spread out over so many minutes. My first impression was that it sounded like a pair who had no idea what they were talking about.

It was so bad that it made me appreciate reading.

@bruisedthumb I have just been reading too. Internet feels mostly hollow now.
@alexlambson agreed. Everything seems geared towards being attention hogs. No value, just attention.
