From the title I expected this would be like talk radio (like NotebookLM style) discussion of random wiki pages.
tasty_freeze•4h ago
That sounds like a great idea for a sleep aid: have an AI narrate random wikipedia pages. Maybe it could even allow you to specify topics you have no interest in so it doesn't accidentally pick a topic that might grab your interest.
ivape•3h ago
Would you pay for it?
drmajormccheese•3h ago
Yes
paularmstrong•3h ago
No need for an AI. Text-to-speech (TTS) is by far good enough and much easier on CPU/GPU and the environment.
vorpalhex•3h ago
Using an "AI" (LLM) enhanced TTS adds in tone and other markers to let the underlying TTS sound much more natural. You can then double down with an ML tuned TTS to get a more natural voice.
guerrilla•1h ago
What's an example of that? Anytging I can run locally?
squeaky-clean•3h ago
NotebookLM's audio mode doesn't just read out the given text, it creates a podcast format with 2 hosts where one will ask questions and the other will answer, and go back and forth in a discussion style.

Why does it play an artificial voice saying "Number 9" over and over in between clips in Revolution 9 mode? it's super annoying especially given the clips are shorter

But this is really cool! I've gotten some animal sounds, weather sounds, music, a small kid talking about a soccer match in Spanish, "evil laugh", political speeches in several languages, and a telephone ringing. only pressed skip a couple times for some really unpleasant noises

martyvis•3h ago
It's a reference to the Beatles song Revolution Number 9 which includes a lot of clips like that. It does get old pretty quickly here.

Uh wow. This is actual bubble-bursting technology. I love this. Getting StumbleUpon vibes. Also, crazy that so many of these things are actually good... Maybe humanity is not so bad after all? Hmm. Food for thought. :D

laszlojamf•2h ago
I love this, and I don’t mean to throw any shade on it, but this is kind of thing I’d the best to come out of the ”vibe coding” revolution. I don’t know if this was vibe coded, but what I mean to say is that there are a million things that you just never get around to doing, and LLMs help you to actually _realize_ little cool ideas like this.
jjice•2h ago
Hopefully the "small internet" gets has a resurgence of goofy websites due to reduced development time. Boilerplate gets super annoying, but LLMs don't procrastinate the way I do.

Number 9. Number 9. Number 9....
saretup•18m ago
I get why you added the static noise sound between clips but that gets annoying real quick.
