[emcai] Podcasts generated using Google's NotebookLM

[Roger K Moore]

Hi All,

In case you are not aware, the latest AI development from Google provides
the ability to generate a podcast-style conversation between two
'individuals' *automatically* from an uploaded document (e.g. a scientific
paper)?  The results are astounding, both in terms of the speech and the
dialogue.

Here are two examples I generated based on ...

   - my recent VIHAR-24 paper on "What Needs to be Known in Order to
   Perform a Meaningful Scientific Comparison Between Animal Communications
   and Human Spoken Language
   <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1n5ap5v2hu_ERl2mwewYNP_WzfQSwpw0T/view?usp=share_link>",
   and
   - the famous "Chicken Chicken Chicken
   <https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TbrynC1VtJFMbIteWJEj1DAHURCcxDWr/view?usp=share_link>"
   paper by Doug Zongker.

I wonder how these AI-generated interactions stack-up from a CA perspective?

Best wishes
Roger
