A Tale of Two AI Notebooks
Oct. 28, 2024. Google’s NotebookLM is not new, but it’s still worth mentioning. This writing assistant tool can turn your uploaded content into an interactive notebook or even a (spookily real-sounding) podcast. NotebookLM allows you to “chat” with your content as a study guide or thinking partner. Aditi Suresh of AIM reports that Meta just launched NotebookLlama, an open-source alternative to Google’s notebook tool. The game’s afoot!

Oct. 24. 2024. Carl Franzen of VentureBeat writes that Midjourney launched its image editor. This article shares how to find and use the editor. As of this writing, it is limited only to accounts that have generated at least 10,000 images in Midjoruney. Let’s hope the image editor is the beginning of fine-tuned image adjustments instead of blowing up a whole picture when you want to remove one offending cloud.
