Google AI Adds to My Last Article
I used Google’s NotebookLM to analyze my last article, Cross-Examine Your AI: The Lawyer’s Cure for Hallucinations. I started with the debate feature, where two AIs have a respectful argument about whatever source material you provide, here my article. The debate turned out very well (see below). The two debating AI personas made some very interesting points. The analysis was good and hallucination free.
Then just a few prompts and a half-hour later, Google’s NotebookLM had made a Podcast, a Slide Deck, a Video and a terrific Infographic. NotebookLM can also make expanding mind-maps, reports, quizzes, and even study flash-cards, all based on the source material. So easy, it seems only right that I make them available to readers to use, if they wish, in their own teaching efforts for whatever legal related group they are in. So please take this blog as a small give-away.
Merry Christmas!
AI Debate
The back-and-forth argument in this NotebookLM creation lasts 16 minutes, makes you think, and may even help you to talk about these ideas with your colleagues.
AI Podcast
I also liked the podcast created by NotebookLM with direction and verification on my part. The AI write the words, no time. It seems accurate to me and certainly has no hallucinations. Again, it is a fun listen and comes in at only only 12.5 minutes. These AIs are good at both analysis and persuasion.
AI Slide Deck
If that were not enough, NotebookLM AI also made a 14-slide deck to present the article. The only problem is that it generated a PDF file, not a powerpoint format. Proprietary issues. Still, pretty good content. See below.
AI Video
They also made a video, see below and click here for the same video on YouTube. It is just under seven minutes and has been verified and approved, except for its discussion of the Park v. Kim, case, which it misunderstood and yes, hallucinated the holding at 1:38-1:44. The Google NotebookLM AI said that the appeal was dismissed due to AI fabricated cases, whereas, in fact, the appeal upheld the lower court’s dismissal because of AI fabricated cases filed in the lower court.
Rereading the article it is easy to see how Google’s AI made that mistake. Oh, and to prove how carefully I checked the work, the AI misspelled “cross-examined” at 6:48 in the video: it only used one “s” i.w. – cros-examined (horrors). If I missed anything else, please let me know. I’m only human.
Except for that error, the movie was excellent, with great graphics and dialogue. I especially liked this illustration of the falling house of cards to show the fragility of AI’s reasoning when it fabricates. I wish I had thought of that image.
Even though the video was better than I could have created, and took the NotebookLM AI only a minute to create, the mistakes in the video show that we humans still have a role to play. Plus, do not forget, the AI was illustrating and explaining my idea, my article; although admittedly another AI, ChatGPT-5.2, helped me to write the article. Cross-Examine Your AI: The Lawyer’s Cure for Hallucinations.
My conclusion, go ahead and work with them, supervise carefull, and fix their mistakes. If you follow that kind of skeptical hybrid method, they can be good helpers. The New Stanford–Carnegie Study: Hybrid AI Teams Beat Fully Autonomous Agents by 68.7% (e-Discovery Team, 12/01/25).
Here is the video:
MERRY CHRISTMAS
Invitation to use these teaching materials.
Anyone is welcome to download and use the slide deck, the article itself, Cross-Examine Your AI: The Lawyer’s Cure for Hallucinations, the audio podcast, the debate, the infographic and the video to help them make a presentation on the use of AI. The permission is limited to educational or edutainment use only. Please do not change the article or audio content. But, as to the fourteen slides, feel free to change them as needed. They seem too wordy to me, but I like the images. If you use the video, serve popcorn; that way you can get folks to show-up. It might be fun to challenge your colleagues to detect the small hallucination the video contains. Even if they have read my article, I bet many will still not detect the small error.
Here is the infographic.
