Ben and Mike are technically off this week, but we decided to run an experiment. After discussing Google’s NotebookLM and its ability to create AI-generated podcasts about any content, Mike experimented with how it would handle one of the stories Mike & Ben discussed last week: Daphne Keller’s The Rise of the Compliant Speech Platform on Lawfare. Mike explains why we’re running this, some of the work that went into it, as well as his thoughts on the experiment, followed by the AI-generated version.

Re:
ok buddy who believes in polls
This episode scared the shit out of me
The “AI robots” sounded way too real. So much so, that even when they made “mistakes” (like calling algorithms “algoriddims”) they sounded like “mistakes” humans could make.
It raises a question as to what kind of Turing test could differentiate the fake podcasters from real ones!
Re:
Oh yeah, they definitely sound extremely realistic. But the quality of what they say is just so-so.

Ah, I see your point.
