I could see how an approach like this could help my soon to be community college student/child, with or without AI. She has a great vocabulary but struggles with the overall comprehension.
great write up and really liked how you are helping use notebooklm via fine tuning the usecases to support critical thinking instead of offloading it all to AI!
No thanks. I will not trust my reading, thinking, or writing to algorithms developed by right-wing sympathizers using stolen writing. Why would I surrender the joy of reading 📚? No.
I've been using Notebook LM a little bit more. It is a little clunky, but the fact that it's completely free is a huge benefit when using it with college students.
I do like the audio overview it can do, and you can ask it questions about the specific article you have in there. I'll be curious to find out your thoughts on using it for the entire semester.
From your response, I can tell you haven't used it in a good while. It has come a long way, and I have been using it every semester, all semester for my research-based classes so they can understand and clarify research materials (general NotebookLM, visual overview, audio overview and the Briefing Document), pinpoint quotes and backing for their essay (prompting NotebookLM), and narrow their focus (mindmaping). As their build their research library through the semester, they can also compare sources and find important details they might have missed.

You do you, Janet! Wishing you happiness in all of it. :)
