NBS Podcast Features AI-Powered Guest Hosts

The latest episode of the NBS Bibliotalk podcast, "Literature Collecting and the Impact of Technology" is now available on the NBS website and other popular podcasting platforms such as Apple Podcasts. This episode is AI-generated and was created using the Google NotebookLM podcast engine. Text copies of Asylum issues were ingested as a basis for the podcast.

The virtual hosts provide an overview of the numismatic literature collecting field and discuss the impact of technology on the hobby. From the days of Sylvester Crosby and the Chapman brothers, the podcast conveys the appeal of numismatic literature and encourages listeners to find and collect their own special items.

While the production value is high, and the hosts seem eerily human, I found the content to be a bit lacking in substance. Still, the ability of AI to progress this far is astounding, and one can only expect it will continue to improve rapidly. Let us know what you think!
