EDITING, because Google got so embarrassed by the mostly negative responses to a post from its NotebookLM account on X that it deleted the post. But Nate Hake had saved it so you can see it here:




Nate's post today with the screenshot above:







Original OP below:










The responses to the original post from Google's account for NotebookLM are split between AI users (who are apparently ethics-free and either nearly blind or too careless to spot AI slop) saying how wonderful this AI crap is, and people with functioning eyes, brains and principles who are pointing out both the AI slop errors and the blatant theft of intellectual property by Google.

For instance:


Stolen content without permission. You missed step 4, by the way, stupid idiots.


That’s a great idea to remember /display recipes !


A multi-trillion dollar company that feels the need to steal from individual human creators is one of the most disgusting aspects of the technology industry that I can think of. Truly disgraceful. What is wrong with you people? Where is your humanity? @Google @sundarpichai


Welcome back, full-power infographics and slide decks! That buttery stuffing card is pure holiday magic, NotebookLM is absolutely cooking this season. Thrilled to have the limits lifted!


"Look at what we stole!! Except Step 4. We didn't like that step!"


Google team deserve heaven, no doubt, thanks for all you have done
