appeared on my account following Gemini which I did a little bit of "engaging" to understand how it worked, etc.

I actually find Notes extraordinarily helpful to me as a very interesting and efficient platform for organizing my music files which involves band sets and arrangements and that sort of thing, combining personally created mp3's with corresponding transcripts, and arrangements, all together which I have too numerous to track easily.
I was astonished with the ease and useful research of original source content saving me untold hours of time researching. Particularly since I'm losing my vision, though not completely blind yet.
For folks with certain disabilities may find AI a very useful tool translating as a remarkable game changer.

Having said that, it is rather spooky on so many levels. For example, there is a feature in Notes, when I uploaded a music transcript, Notes immediately texted a deep analysis of all of the elements contained within the transcript sheet music, but when I selected audio "deep dive" feature, after a few minutes what occurred blew my mind,

It was a sort of podcast conversation/discussion analyzing the music, between two very engaged "people" .
It was extraordinary, and sort of freaky, Because it sounded like two humans, deeply engaged with natural inflections,
responses and other normal elements of humans engaging conversationally.
I am not forced or pressured to use it. But I have a few times voluntarily.
