How to Generate an AI Podcast Using Google’s NotebookLM

Users online are sharing snippets of their generative AI podcasts made from Goldman Sachs data dumps, and testing the tool’s limitations through stunts, like just repeatedly uploading the words “poop” and “fart.” Still confused? The internet has gotten creative with NotebookLM’s audio feature, using it to create audio-based “deep dives” into complex technical topics, generate files that neatly summarize dense research papers, and produce “podcasts” about their personal health and fitness routines.
