Expert-Enriched AI vs. AI Slop
2025 Word of the Year: SLOP (AI-generated junk flooding the internet)
The antidote? Human expertise. Mike's AI is enriched with interviews from world-class experts—making it "like enriched uranium" compared to generic ChatGPT responses.
Practical Applications
Tim's Family History Project: 70-80 pages of typed family stories going back 5 generations—will use Notebook LM instead of hiring expensive copywriters
Ron's Digital Legacy: Boxes of photos, VHS tapes spanning three generations of Japanese-American family history—all destined for Notebook LM for future grandchildren
Mike's Honda Hack: Turned his wife's car manual into a podcast they listened to while driving the new vehicle
Tools Mentioned
- Google Gemini (free & paid accounts)
- Notebook LM (creates podcasts, videos, briefings, study guides automatically)
