AI Experiments

I Fed NotebookLM 40 Research Papers. Here's What Happened.

April 30, 2026

I uploaded 40 papers on a topic I already knew well, specifically so I could fact-check the output against my own expertise.

The summarization and cross-referencing were genuinely impressive for surfacing patterns across papers I'd read months apart.

It also confidently misattributed a finding once, which is exactly why this stays a research assistant, never a research authority.
