I think NotebookLM is a great tool that I'm too lazy to use properly

Discussion

This isn't really a criticism of NotebookLM. It's more of a confession.

NotebookLM rewards people who put in the work. Upload good sources, organize your notebooks, ask thoughtful questions, and you get genuinely incredible results.

I am not that person. I am the person who uploads one article, asks a vague question, gets a mid answer, and then closes the tab. That's on me.

But also... I wish it met me halfway. I wish it was a little easier to just throw stuff in there and get value without having to be so intentional about everything. Not every session needs to be a whole research project. Sometimes I just want quick and messy and useful.

Anyone else like me???
