AI Meets the Monoprint

Ready for artificial intelligence to chat with you about clay monoprints? Or perhaps listen to an AI radio segment?

Screenshot of a Google NotebookLM AI based on two Visual Realia webpages.

Google’s experimental (and possibly temporary) AI platform NotebookLM lets users provide text to train their AI on the topic provided. I used two explanatory Visual Realia webpages as the “textbook” for its understanding. You can see the result by clicking here.

In addition to predetermined sections such as an introduction, index, FAQ, and summary, at the bottom, visitors will find a chat box where they can ask questions about the medium. The AI will attempt to answer based on the information gleaned from the sources provided.

An impressive addition is a seven-minute “conversation” between AI characters about clay monoprints, very much like a radio segment or short podcast. You can listen to it below.

What do you think? It’s pretty informative, isn’t it? Give it a listen, then head to the notebook page to see what else you might learn.
