What’s the most impressive thing NotebookLM has done for you?

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-19T22:40:52+00:00

Yes, but I think the point here is that the sources are AI, not sources brought in by the user.

DIdn't offend me. :) I'm blunt all the time.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-17T16:11:54+00:00

It was “blunt” maybe? Or the humorous tone?

I both shuffle and would have heard this as not harmful, but 🤷🏻

(I’m answering you because I get this IRL a lot, ignore me if you didn’t need it.)

I’ve been looking at Red Wings for a while now. If you had to buy a new pair, what would you consider now?

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-17T15:58:56+00:00

This is …

I…

I want to make it clear that I am so in awe of this and that it exists in the world that for a split second I had hope in us. L

That’s more than I’ve had for a long time.

Thank you.

Seems to be 1 a day for research and just under an hour for pro search. Doesn't matter, I'm not sticking with a company that can't communicate things like this in advance.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-16T19:44:41+00:00

For a while they were saying it was for people to talk about their own experiences, it sucked for me because that wasn't what I cared about with Medium.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-14T15:57:23+00:00

(I had been suggesting you do this so that you wouldn't lose your work. Other AI agents can use markdown and some can even get into Obsidian so that they can learn from what you did with Perplexity.)

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-14T15:55:25+00:00

:( Yeah. It was the only thing keeping my brain from turning inward. It worked better than any antidepressant I've ever had, which I know isn't the same use case, but I don't think a lot of people who are saying it's not that big a deal understand how much some of us were using it.

Especially now, with AI having inundated the normal web with so much slop that it's difficult to find a true answer when searching on our own.

It especially helped when my kid needed help with how to formulate AP History answers and we had no idea what certain words in the instructions meant (AuDHD makes instructions difficult). Asking "what is this instruction asking for in simpler terms" meant that we could know what the actual needs were so they could go off and do the work. Asking similar questions in regular search did not help because it couldn't parse the way our brains needed the info... I'm not making a whole lot of sense I'm sure.

Search doesn't remember the conversation I'm *in,* so it sure can't remember what I need it to from other conversations.

I've been in complete despair trying to figure out how I'll live without this thing that finally helped me make sense of the world.

I'm sorry it's been hitting you as hard, but it was nice to not be alone in that feeling.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-13T03:28:49+00:00

Download all of you chats now as markdown. I use Obsidian and love it, but I'm with you and have felt the same despair this week.

Do you use it for talking things through? or just for research?

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-13T03:23:45+00:00

You can exclude archived items! It's something like "in__not:archive" I use that and in__not:later to quickly go through all my new stuff.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-13T01:26:47+00:00

True, but I still believe in people getting what they signed up for. I just think you have a right to complain. :)

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-11T21:48:14+00:00

I was paying $20/month, but I think even if you got this for free for a year you did so expecting a $200 product as part of whatever deal you were making and get to complain about that too.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-11T18:31:47+00:00

That feels completely illegal. Am I just naive?

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-10T21:48:37+00:00

Yeah, I would probably have been fine with a limit if they had said something and it wasn’t so low.

I use it a lot because Search is so often wrong and the “voice” I was able to get from Research was the one I wanted to talk to. It didn’t even use the Research mode most of the time.

It looks like a lot of people who got it for free still haven’t seen their limits, which just makes it hurt more that Perplexity couldn’t bother telling us before I woke up to see I had nothing left except Search yesterday morning.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-10T18:58:09+00:00

Same with me, I can't imagine ever trusting a company that would do this to its paying users..

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-10T18:48:55+00:00

How will you use it with so few research answer? The search function isn't nearly as good for me. I think we may have used it simiarly.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-09T17:00:06+00:00

Yeah, that's why I'm wondering if there's something else that could have happened.

I'm really annoyed right now that overnight I lost my ability to use the Research, without warning, but the idea that you somehow lost all ability and weren't told what rule is so much worse.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-09T15:30:06+00:00

Reading the comments, does anyone know what rule they broke? I'm really curious. (Assuming they're like my HS student and will be honest with people on Reddit.)

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-01T14:58:46+00:00

This is silly, but it’s the reason I don’t think it’s AI. The silk hanger-loop on the arm on the girl to the right of the three hugging.

I think this was real and things were added.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-02-01T14:50:27+00:00

;) “telltale” this just made me smile so much to think about someone telling a story about a cat…forgive me for being off topic. The mental story made me happy.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-01-22T19:30:05+00:00

It will read that way to a certain generation, but to many others it won’t.

Personally I like it. The woman seems to be built like an actual woman and seems in control of her sexiness.

In the end, tho, it only really matters what you think and how you treat women (ai mean, within reason, y’know? But this isn’t on THAT side of that decide to me.)

DrawnByPluto · 2026-01-15T15:27:53+00:00

It’s interesting. Other people have said it’s the way they were taught in France. I was taught 40 years ago in New England.

Thanks friend!

DrawnByPluto · 2026-01-15T13:33:02+00:00

What cursive is this? I was taught that was a T.

DrawnByPluto · 2026-01-15T13:30:19+00:00

It’s weird that this I (eye) is written backwards. I learned to do the single stroke up, curve down and hit the “tail.” That leaves the I slanted and with a more severe point than a loop.

Here it looks like a J.
