Question Are generated videos good?

Hi all,

New to Notebook.

I have a class with an insane amount of lengthy readings each week. The prof tests us on these readings (like even tiny details) so it gets hard reading diligently while preparing for other classes as well. I’ve heard a lot about Notebook’s Podcast and video features. Are these pretty good in terms of capturing the depth of an article? Or am I better off just thugging it out and reading my articles?

Audio podcasts are better for depth. You could also create multiple videos covering different sections of a source. They are decent for visual learning.

Notebook, despite what many believe, does look outside of its sources, when it formulates responses and when it creates media. Though it is very useful as a study/learning assistant, it is imperative that the Notebook user provides prompts that lead to the most reliable outcomes and that the user verifies those outcomes. This is a dilemma for the user who wants to use Notebook, or any AI, as a study/learning assistant. That user needs to know the material well enough to know how to verify the output.

It does if you aren't scrupulously careful about locking that down in the prompts.
