I first learnt about Notebook LM in the 1st quarter this year in the EdTech masterclass, among several other AI tools. I find Notebook LM easiest to use - most importantly, it's very straightforward (intuitive) and highly personalised - in particular when I'm in the role of a Learner.
By uploading the materials, the bot only confine its knowledge base according to what's fed to that particular notebook - potential hallucinations is greatly reduced.
Though still new to it, it's introduced to students for its most basic purpose/ use - created a handful of "notebooks". Also uploaded materials to test its capacity.
The first one created was for the topic, "Approximation and Estimation". One thing that amuses me was it could draw out the rules from the Youtube clip links that were uploaded, and apply it when asked the explain how to round off a number given a certain degree of accuracy.
It also demonstrated ability to use base knowledge to answer questions that requires reasoning - equivalent to answering an AO3 question!
Here's another test - checking on it s ability to learn 'new relationships' that are probably not so obvious to it.
One definitely usefulness is its ability to outline the steps clearly and systematically, at the same time, make reference where it draws knowledge from.
Another helpful feature is its ability to generate mindmaps. Though it may not be evidently useful for Mathematics learning, but definitely for content heavy subjects like Science and Humanities.
Think there are still lots of untapped potential... more to discover... but I believe fluency is necessary as the foundation for many good things to come :)
