Two AI Bots Discussing My Work

I loaded a substantial sample my writing into Google’s Notebook LM and pressed the button to make a short podcast between to AI bots.

Yes, it’s absolutely bizarre to hear bots discuss how amazing kubb is (among other things).

Along the way, I also asked the Notebook what the three most controversial themes of my writing were:

  • The Ethics of Data Collection and Privacy in a Technology-Driven World
  • The Pitfalls of Growth as the Sole Metric of Success, Especially for Small Businesses
  • The Importance of Disconnecting from Technology and Embracing Offline Experiences

as well as what I’m missing:

  • Limited Discussion of Specific Technologies: This absence suggests that while van Buren recognizes the importance of technology in his work, he doesn't view it as the primary driver of innovation or success. His focus remains on human-centered aspects of work and life, suggesting a conscious effort to maintain a balanced relationship with technology rather than solely pursuing the latest advancements.

Pretty fun. Recommended.
