Introducing Audio Summaries of Each Blog Post
Sep 29, 2024I'm 100% human (as far as I still know) and I've been writing these blog posts faithfully for well over a year now.
There's a new feature I've added to this blog. It's an audio player where you can hear an audio version of any blog post. It's not a word-for-word read. That's boring. It's actually two people conversing back and forth with their take on the blog post. And if you found one of these recordings, you'd probably swear that it's a well-produced and scripted recording.
But here's the kicker. The recording, including the two people within it, are all AI. Yup, a computer created it. It's almost like our AI Overlords are taking over the world. No! They're not taking over and I say that with jest (unless you are part of the AI Collective...then you're pretty cool).
Introducing a new tool I found....NotebookLM. It's created by Google. All I did was upload my blog post (or a copy and paste of text), and viola! I have a recording after a 2-3 minute rendering time. It saves as a WAV file. I convert it into a MP3 and I upload it into Kajabi, who happens to host this blog.
Why am I saying all of this? AI isn't taking over but I wanted to be authentic. I also wanted to create a listening alternative to the blog as well. I find the content AI created to be valuable and I wanted to share this with the world.
BTW, listen to the audio take on itself talking about the summary of this post. *snickers*
