Disclosure: This is the AI-generated podcast I spoke about in Sunday’s video. The source material used includes Senate Bill 634 and reporting from North County Pipeline, The Coast News and CBS 8 in San Diego.
I used Google’s NotebookLM platform to analyze and break down the bill and media reports to generate the podcast. This tool allows me to get to stories I wouldn’t otherwise have the capacity to cover through my normal duties.
This new feature gives me the ability to continue covering important issues related to North County and keep my subscribers informed of what is happening across a range of subjects. However, I would like your feedback regarding this new feature and other subjects of interest you would like me cover (take the poll or send an email).
Although this podcast is generated by AI, I never use AI to write any of my stories. I want to be clear to you that all my reporting and writing are original. I, and many other reporters, do use AI for research purposes, although it’s a “trust-but-verify” method.
While AI is great at quickly finding information, I always double-check the source material before including any information in a report.
Today’s post is for all subscribers, but this podcast will be a premium feature going forward for my paid subscribers. I hope you enjoy this new feature.
