Most of us are looking for ways to actually use what we read.
NotebookLM lets you upload your own documents and turns them into a custom-trained AI. That AI then acts like an expert on your content – summarizing complex material, answering questions, and transforming it into briefings, study guides, or even mind maps.
The wildest part? You can even turn your notes or articles into a podcast. It’s like having a personal research assistant that doesn’t sleep.
BUT
People get frustrated when generative AI hallucinates or makes things up. I’m more surprised it gets anything right at all.
Generative AI, like ChatGPT, gets all the hype. But it’s often unreliable and always needs a human in the loop. Predictive AI, on the other hand, quietly delivers real value. It learns from data and makes probabilistic forecasts – whether it’s spotting fraud, predicting fires, or planning tomorrow’s delivery routes.
Learning how to learn will be the most essential skill for the next generation.
