AI News: Gemini Flash 3.7, NotebookLM Update, Grok Bot, AI Watermarks and More

Well, this was a pretty busy week in the world of AI. We have a few updates from Google including a new flash model and a small update to Notebook LM that we've been waiting for for a while now. SpaceX AI released a new agent called Grok Bot that is really promising, but most people talking about it are leaving out some pretty crucial details about it. But don't worry, I'll break down everything that's important in this week's AI news recap. My name is Paul J. Lipsky and every week I bring you the AI news that regular people actually care about. I want to start by talking about that little update to Notebook LM, or as it's now called Gemini Notebook. So now when you come into any of your notebooks like this one right here, you'll see this copy button at the top. This will make a copy of your notebook. You'll see whenever you do that, it will automatically give it a title of copy of and the name of your notebook, but you can rename it. So this is really helpful when you have one notebook that you like and you want to sort of branch out from it and create a variation of it. Maybe add some sources to that one while still preserving the original notebook. This makes it a lot easier to do that. The other thing that it's really good for is when someone shares a notebook with you, but there's a little bit of a catch here. So back here on my dashboard, if I click right here where it says shared with me, I can see this notebook that someone else shared with me, but opening it up, you'll notice that the copy button is grayed out. And that's because the original owner has to allow copying. So if you do want to share a notebook with someone and allow them to be able to copy it, this is how you do it. Come over to the notebook that you want to share. So let's say it is this one right here. And then you'll click on the top right here where it says share. Now if you see that this share button is grayed out, it's probably because you have used this notebook inside of Gemini and you have some Gemini chats in there. So for instance, if we come over to this notebook right here, you'll see that I cannot share this because over here in the sources, I have chats from Gemini. Unfortunately, that is a limitation with sharing notebooks. But anyway, let's come back to the notebook we can share, which is this one right here. And I'll click on the share icon, and then you can enter in the email address of the person you want to share it with.
