In this monologue podcast, Dr. Justin Sung reviews Google's NotebookLM, an AI tool for learning, comparing it to ChatGPT's study mode. He shares his experiences using it as both a beginner and an advanced learner across different use cases: intensive study, on-the-go learning, and task-reactive learning. While impressed initially, he notes limitations, particularly in facilitating deep understanding and connection of complex information. He emphasizes that AI is good at solving small problems, such as resource collection and generating multimodal learning content, but not at the core challenge of organizing and connecting information for true mastery. He cautions against relying on AI as a shortcut and stresses the importance of active engagement and critical thinking in the learning process, offering tips for effectively using NotebookLM and improving learning skills.
