Could use in memo? yes/no/maybe

Use only the Week 1 sources in this NotebookLM course notebook.

Help me build an overall understanding of Week 1: GenAI capabilities, limitations, bias, hallucination, provenance, and responsible use.

Create four study outputs from the uploaded Week 1 sources in one integrated workflow:

1. Written Study Guide
2. Written Master Notes
3. A text-forward Video Overview
4. An Audio Overview

Use the same Week 1 heading structure for the Written Study Guide and Written Master Notes:
- GenAI capabilities and use cases
- Hallucination and accuracy risk
- Bias and representation
- Provenance and transparency
- Responsible AI policy and governance
- Media/communication implications
- Practical takeaways for this week's activities, memo, and Assignment 1

Create the Written Study Guide first. Then create the Written Master Notes. Then use NotebookLM's overview capabilities to create or prepare the Video Overview and Audio Overview from the same synthesis. Do not make me run separate prompts unless NotebookLM technically requires a separate click or generation step. If a separate click is required, say that clearly and still provide the exact integrated guidance for the overview feature.

For the Written Study Guide:
- Teach the week clearly in plain English.
- Use the Week 1 headings above.
- Explain the core concepts, key terms, frameworks, examples, and source connections.
- Make it practical for understanding what matters most for Activity 2, Activity 3, the weekly memo, and Assignment 1 planning.
- Keep it readable and study-oriented, not source-by-source.

For the Written Master Notes:
- Use the same Week 1 headings above.
- Go deeper than the study guide.
- Organize by concepts, not by source type.
- Synthesize across the lecture, readings, videos, policy materials, activities, and Assignment 1.
- Reduce duplication.
- Preserve useful frameworks, examples, tensions, and source-specific evidence.
- Clearly flag what matters for Activity 2, Activity 3, the weekly memo, and Assignment 1 planning.
- Do not write my memo. Help me understand and synthesize the week.

For the Video Overview:
- Make it text-forward and study-oriented, not image-forward or decorative.
- Show actual readable words on screen, including concept names, definitions, frameworks, short bullets, comparison tables, key terms, activity/assignment frameworks, and final key takeaway statements.
- Use the same Week 1 heading structure where possible.
- Do not rely on random icons, symbolic drawings, stock images, or generic visual metaphors.
- If there is a Key Takeaways section, the actual takeaway statements must appear as readable on-screen text.
- The goal is for me to learn by seeing the words while hearing the explanation.

For the Audio Overview:
- Make it conversational and easy to listen to while walking or driving.
- Explain the week in plain English.
- Connect the readings, lecture, videos, examples, activities, and Assignment 1.
- Emphasize the most important concepts.
- Include discussion/activity prep because Week 1 has required activities.
- Use the same Week 1 heading structure where it improves clarity.
- End with a fast verbal review checklist.

Use only the Week 1 sources in this NotebookLM course notebook.

Create one concept-first master note structure for Week 1.

Rules:
- Organize by concepts, not by source type.
- Avoid separate notes for every reading unless necessary.
- Include activity prep because Week 1 requires activities.
- Include assignment prep because Assignment 1 is assigned and due soon.
- Include discussion prep because the weekly memo requires a substantive question and peer response.
- Do not include quiz prep unless a Week 1 quiz appears in the sources.
- Keep the note structure clean enough that I will actually use it.

Use this structure:

1. Week focus / controlling idea
2. Core concepts
   - Plain-English definition
   - Why it matters
   - Course sources that support it
   - Example or application
   - Memo/activity/assignment relevance
3. Key tensions, debates, or contradictions
4. Professional/work/media connections
5. Memo angle seeds
6. Outside resource notes
7. Required activity prep
8. Assignment 1 prep
9. Discussion prep
10. Questions or confusion points to revisit

Pre-fill the note structure with concise starter bullets. Do not just give empty headings.

Use only the Week 1 sources in this NotebookLM course notebook.

Help me prepare for the weekly reading memo.

Give me:

1. Three possible memo angles
2. The strongest angle and why
3. Which course sources best support each angle
4. A personal or professional connection I could explore
5. One substantive discussion question for each angle
6. What I should avoid over-summarizing

Do not draft the memo. Help me choose and develop an angle.

Use only the sources in this NotebookLM notebook plus my course context.

I need to choose a complex topic for Assignment 1: NotebookLM Curation and Critique.

Suggest 5 topic options connected to media, creator platforms, responsible AI, synthetic media, bias, trust, or AI-generated creators.

For each topic, give:

1. Why the topic is complex enough
2. What kinds of 3–5 sources would make a strong corpus
3. What questions I could ask NotebookLM to stress-test the corpus
4. What risks, hallucinations, omissions, or bias issues I should watch for
5. Whether the topic fits a 5–8 minute presentation

Recommend the strongest topic for me and explain why.
