A user's take: Google's NotebookLM avoids hallucinations by sticking to your own docs
A user describes using Google's (referred to in the post as 'Gemini LM') by uploading around 100 documents and websites related to a hobby into one notebook, and about 75 sources for work into another. Because the tool answers only from the material provided, the user reports rarely or never encountering with it. By contrast, (in both app and web) frequently loses track of , which became more of a hassle than a help over time.
performed reasonably well in some areas, but the user caught it giving false information when asking for clarification on something they already partly knew. The user closes by saying they're waiting for a 3.5 Pro model to arrive.
Key points
- User uploads ~100 hobby-related documents/sites into one notebook and ~75 work sources into another
- Because it answers only from provided sources, the user reports almost no from
- (app/web) was found to frequently lose , causing frustration
- was decent overall but once gave false information on a topic the user was just confirming
- Post ends with the user hoping for a 3.5 Pro model release
