Bob Danley: "...even if you don't use what it's produced, it is brainstorming for you that that essentially you could take what it created and and maybe not use it verbatim, but you know, use it as an outline or a skeleton for something where you could add things like Andrew would say, you know, make a PDF and add your own photos."

Nina Trankova: "The story is mindblowing. It's fantastic. It's  really storytelling. It's intriguing. You are getting curious. You don't want to stop listening. And the diction for me, like a foreigner, is beyond excellent. It can also serve for English language learning and many other things. I was wondering if you use the audio overviews would it be  another content you create with your own imagery then by adding the audio."

Peggy K: "I think it can't be emphasized more that the advantage of using notebook LM is that you pick the sources. So you know that you have reliable quality sources whereas opposed to using a lot of these other generative AI tools where it just kind of goes out and finds stuff you don't know if it's finding reliable information or not."
