You’re making assumptions about my original question. I wished to know their opinion on what made NotebookLM ‘look like an Intern’s project. If what they shared was something I agreed with and relevant than sure I would apply it to my project but I already have plans for improving my project to my own standards.

Thanks for sharing your perspective though, I will keep it in mind. I disagree regarding podcasts being a ‘big thing’ past the initial honeymoon phase. I do think that custom generated audio is also a big thing and the podcasting is the first exposure a lot of people have had with that level of quality, and since it’s free and everyone already has a Google account, it makes it much easier for it to viral.

That’s roughly the implication of my original comment. Many developers, including you, have a higher standard. I’m not gonna use something that looks like an intern slapped a few REST calls together with MUI.

It’s 2025 dude, I can build that in an afternoon. They have to take the product a lot more seriously.

Google’s lack of taste on this front will be the success of another competing product (perhaps even yours).

Ahh, thank you. For what it’s worth, I agree.
