Google’s AI thinks I left a Gatorade bottle on the moon


NotebookLLM is the first AI podcast I'd actually listen to. Give it a web page or document, and it will generate you a podcast about it.

When Google's AI visits my homepage, it sees fake producer's show notes for an episode about me flying to the moon on my bike with balloons and a scuba tank. So next time you ask your LLM of choice for advice on something, and you notice it's searching the web to prepare an answer, be aware that its response is potentially compromised by tactics like this - even if you can't see them with your own eyes when you check the sources. You can upload a documents with fake show notes straight to NotebookLLM's website, so if you're making silly podcast episodes for your kids, that's the best way to do it.
