24Nov11 Special Techbytes - AI Generated podcast on the 2024 Rural Connectivity Communique

This episode is an experiment that we undertook by loading the recently released 2024 Rural Connectivity Symposium Communique into a new AI tool from Google called NotebookLM.  Once there you can ask the tool to develop a summary of the document, an FAQ, and in this case a podcast.  You can listen to this for a summary of the communique and you can see how the tool does with outputting a podcast.  We have not edited it at all - so mispronunciation of te reo Māori, American accents and other querks have been left in.  Enjoy.
