"Having debuted just a little over two years ago, the platform feels like an early glimmer of what truly useful AI will look like in the future. If you've never tried it, think of it like a study or research assistant that can quickly generate materials that fit your particular learning style, and that can (in theory) accelerate the process of you coming to grips with a new subject."
"Generally speaking, one of the most prevalent sales pitches for AI that you'll hear from Silicon Valley execs and other true believers is that it's an aid and enabler to human cognition -- that it amplifies innate human intelligence, reduces the time between ideation and production, and makes it possible for just about anyone to turn even their most far out creative ideas into something tangible."
NotebookLM added slide deck and infographic features that were initially exclusive to Google AI Pro subscribers and have been rolled out to all users. The platform debuted a little over two years ago and functions like a study or research assistant that generates materials tailored to individual learning styles. NotebookLM aims to accelerate comprehension by producing study aids and presentations quickly. Google AI Pro costs $20 per month after a one-month free trial. Advocates promote AI as an aid to human cognition, while critics warn it may atrophy cognition and creativity by doing the hard work for users.
