## Resource

We’re going to go a bit meta in this episode. Since Jeff and Judy talked about AI in the last episode, we’re going to feed their paper into NotebookLM and see how it does presenting their ideas. Why do this? First, because it’s kind of funny. Second, because their message is important enough to listen to again from another angle, so that you can internalize it better. Third, because NotebookLM actually does a fantastic job at this kind of thing, and I hope it inspires more people to consider using it to generate exegetical summaries for translators to listen to in different languages of wider communication.
