I told NotebookLM to make a podcast about itself. Here's the result. The hosts appear (only appear, obviously) to be self-aware. ***The hosts of this discussion are AI entities created by Google's NotebookLM. They are not human, but are designed to discuss and analyse information. This discussion is an example of NotebookLM's Audio Overviews feature, which can generate AI podcasts from uploaded documents. NotebookLM is an online research assistant created by Google Labs.The self-awareness of the hosts is limited. Although they can refer to themselves as AI entities and acknowledge their creation by NotebookLM, this appears to be based on the information provided to them rather than independent sentience.The hosts are designed to sound like human podcasters, using pauses and conversational fillers like "um" and "oh". However, Google emphasises that NotebookLM's AI is entirely based on the source material provided, and does not use personal data for training. This suggests that the hosts' self-awareness is a simulation based on their programming and the data they are given, rather than genuine consciousness. Hosted on Acast.
