OK, this is pretty amazing, but is there a "Valley Girl" setting in NotebookLM somewhere? In the sample given in this article, both of the "podcasters" had to add a "like", like every 5 seconds. I couldn't take it:
> this tech is just like leaps and bounds of where it was yesterday like we're watching it go from just spitting out words to like...
- JimDabell 2y agoThat’s one of the disfluencies the article mentions.
- niemandhier 2y agoJust my thought. I think to be actually useful, the model needs to allow the user to customize the flow of conversation to some extent. In its current version, this causes so much cultural dissonance that it’s very difficult for me to listen. At least to me the “hosts” appear to actively signal lack of competence in the field they are talking about. Given that they are generated that is off course nonsense.
- JonathanFly 2y ago"Like" is a filler word I barely notice, along with lower key words like "right" or "uh uh". But the NotebookLM constantly exclaiming "Exactly" and "Precisely" stand out and are driving me a bit loopy. I wonder if you can prompt inject them away.
- freedomben 2y agoI would seriously pay, even a subscription fee, to have that ability downloaded into my brain. The first few mentions of "like" don't typically get me, but the more it's used the irritation level grows exponentially...
- hn_throwaway_99 2y agoStrongly suspect it's age-related. I noticed the comment you responded to stated 'along with lower key words like "right" or "uh uh"'. The turn of phrase "low-key" became popular in the 2010s - I barely, if ever, heard it used before then - so my guess is that this user is in their twenties to early thirties.
