When AI starts to mimic what we do as podcast hosts, we listen…and have some fun with it. In this episode, meet “Larry and Mary,” virtual talk show hosts who offer you information in a dynamic 2 person, male/femaile show host format, based on documents we feed them, in this case, our last week’s podcast, and articles from this week’s show. What they do is nothing short of amazing, making great virtual guests!
We take a deep dive into a new AI tool called NotebookLM, developed by Google. NotebookLM is a tool that takes information from various sources, like articles, emails, or PDFs, and generates different kinds of content, including summaries and a simulated talk show dialogue. We also use NotebookLM to analyze an article about negative time in quantum physics, finding that the AI did provide some insight into this complex topic. The show also delves into the debate around the impact of AI on human jobs and consciousness, with Al as an agent to enhance human capabilities, while we express concerns about AI’s potential to mimic human creativity and personality. Later in the conversation, we explore the brain-gut connection and the potential of RNA editing and psychedelics as a new treatment for anxiety and cognitive decline. We end with Bobby’s insights into the use of Xylotol as a substitute for refined sugar. Enjoy!
