NotebookLM let two AI voices narrate my archive back to me as a podcast.

At one point the audio started before the files fully loaded. So the hosts were doing improv with just the file names: "Ernie-Aid, BlindDateBlog, SURVIVORblog..."

Two synthetic voices riffing on the index of my twenties.

The uncanny valley isn't a feeling you can prepare for. It's not creepy in a horror movie way. It's creepy in a "those are real things I did and this machine has opinions about the titles" way.

I kept listening anyway. That probably says something.
