I appreciated the chance to talk with Kathryn Jezer-Morton for this article. It's unfortunate that we have to deal with Big Tech's messes everywhere, including in our own families, but given that, I'm glad for a chance to help people think this through.

The same is absolutely not true for Google's NotebookLM which takes in academic articles and outputs something that sounds like a podcast. It is much harder to evaluate that in general, and especially difficult in the particular case. Having listened to a fake podcast about a paper will undoubtedly shape how you perceive the paper, if you even take the time to go read the paper itself.

Automatic transcription takes an audio signal and produces text. It's reasonably clear how to evaluate how well those systems work, both systematically (should we use this system for our purposes?) and in a particular use (is that really what was in the audio?).

That said, I wanted to provide a couple of corrections. When I problematize the term "AI", the goal is to get people to stop using it. "Many tools that use AI" doesn't mean anything. "Many tools that are sold as 'AI'" is okay. But more importantly: those study-aid podcasts systems are TRASH and nothing like automatic transcription tools.
