Not quite the same analysis. The human is better, no surprise. But the NotebookLM output links back to the original book in a very useful way. If you think about it as fuzzy semantic search it's amazing. If you want an essay or even just creativity, yes it's lacking.

It doesn't have to be the same analysis to put it in a partially overlapping vector space. Not saying it wasn't a useful perspective shuffling in the vector space, but it definitely wasn't original.

LLMs haven't solved any of the 2029 predictions as they were posited. But I expect some will be reached by 2029. The AI hype acts like all this is easy. Not by 2029 doesn't mean impossible or even most of the way there.

LLMs will never achieve anything as long as any victory can be hand waved away with "in the training set". Somehow these models have condensed the entire internet down to a few TB's, yet people aren't backing up their terabytes of personal data down to a couple MB using this same tech...wonder why

It wasn't a hand wave. I gave an exact source, which OP admitted was better.

They certainly haven't "condensed the entire internet into a few TBs". People aren't backing up their personal data to a few MB because your assumption is false.

Maybe when people stop hand waving abilities that aren't there we will better understand their use as a tool and not magic.

Surely there is analysis available online in French though?
