A test of Google's NotebookLM software reveals the AI's tendency to hallucinate and expand brief text into lengthy, fabricated discussions. After being fed a 21-second neutral prompt about Donald Trump and Kamala Harris under the pseudonym "Seymour Butts," the AI generated a five-minute podcast featuring "deep dive" analysis that was never in the source material. The experiment demonstrates the current limitations and biases inherent in automated AI summarization tools.
A demonstration of AI "entropy" was conducted by feeding a transcript of a previous *No Agenda* episode into Notebook LM's "Deep Dive" podcast generator. When the resulting AI podcast was fed back into the system to generate a second iteration, the AI began to hallucinate, falsely claiming that vintage Walkmans were exploding in Lebanon. This illustrates the rapid degradation of accuracy when AI consumes its own output.
