If you're tired of reading articles, or even books - you can just upload them onto NotebookLM to get an AI-podcasted "deep dive". I sampled an Economist piece and got 10 mins worth of surprisingly good repartee!
Step-by-step:
❶ Try NotebookLM" at Notebooklm.google.com
❷ Create a new notebook and upload your document.
❸ Once done, open the "Notebook guide" section and click "Generate" next to "Audio Overview".
❹ Wait a couple of minutes and you can play it anywhere.
Oddly, Google is also running a similar project, with Illuminate (currently only available for papers hosted on http://arXiv.org)
