Has anyone tried using LLMs as an interactive version of blog posts? Like so (1) I write several pages of rough, unstructured notes, then talk to Claude to fill in the details interactively. Claude creates a summary file. (2) I publish a blog post that is just "put this file into Claude". (3) The reader puts the file in Claude, and Claude starts an interactive conversation: "I want to explain topic X to you. Do you already know about related topic Y?"

I have recently started doing this very extensively, only more geared towards getting Claude to help me convert my stream-of-consciousness thoughts into coherent writing. So far I think it's amazing and can't see myself going back.
Beyond the benefits of rubber ducking, Claude can often make interesting points I hadn't considered, and which I can expand upon in subsequent iterations. Also, it's just way faster - my writing throughput is much higher without sacrificing quality. I can simply direct Claude to do stuff I want instead of doing it myself. When I read the final version I am confident it's still written in my voice.

I have just found out about Google’s notebook LM. I haven't tried it yet. For anyone who has, how does that compare?
