"Expert intelligence" - new feature of Gemini that allows buyers of an ebook to apply the knowledge in the book to their own projects. In this case, the advice in my writing style manual, The Sense of Style, is applied to a draft of the user's writing. I checked it out and it's really good -- the advice is very close to what I would have said.
The power of Expert Intelligence in @Gemini_Notebook:
Add The Sense of Style by @sapinker to a notebook with a draft you're writing. Ask for feedback based on Pinker's ideas.
It's the opposite of AI slop: personalized advice based on human expertise, facilitated by AI.
And what I love about this is that I'm getting actionable suggestions here AND Notebook is serving as a guide to Pinker's underlying philosophy of writing. So I'm learning deeper principles as I improve my draft. And of course everything in the Notebook response points directly back to specific passages in Pinker (and my own draft) with citations.
We have a Featured Notebook curated by Steven Pinker available here, but if you purchase the book, you can add it to any notebook you want. (And read it in its entirely in Notebook or the Google Play Books reader.)

We're rolling out @NotebookLM Featured Notebooks to the welcome screen of all users with a personal Google account over the next few days. But in the meantime, you can start exploring the notebooks by following direct links to them. Links to each in this 🧵below...
@RoyalMail delivered someone else's package to my house while I was out. It required signature, and since I wasn't home I can only assume the driver fraudulently signed it before leaving it on my doorstep in plain sight. I tried for 15 mins to find a way to give this feedback...

Anti-social behavior at its worst.
The DOT knows that motorists are racing down the Schermerhorn St bike lane, but they've refused to do anything to fix the problem.
When will @NYC_DOT install infrastructure to prevent this from happening?

Hey, friends, we just gave our company to planet Earth. OK, it’s more nuanced than that, but we’re closed today to celebrate this new plan to save our one and only home. We’ll be back online tomorrow.

Today's date is probably the date itself: and the so-called “Twosday” falls on a Tuesday, no less. It happened once before in the year 1011, but after today it will never happen again. It's a palindrome and an ambigram [read more: buff.ly/2AHQVYv]
