I've been using Ai for some time now, and if there is one thing I've learned it is this: HOW you ask. You might want to try again, this time specifically giving instructions to not write the review based on other reviews. After all, if you book was still unpublished and had no public reviews, Ai would have to start from scratch.
I've never tried it with anything extensive as a book, but I have certainly plugged in articles now and then and gotten some excellent feedback.
FYI for anyone using Ai for art, which I do a lot, it really matters "how" you ask.
Yup, there is one that you can send your novel to and they come back with analysis, but it didn’t work for me, just didn’t load, because I’m guessing they want me to use the paid version lol.
Just what I would have said, were I as versed in language and whatnot as a bot. I read it. It was a good book. Now husband Wayne has read the second one in the series and is reading the first, then he'll go ion to the last. Me? I like reading stuff in order. I promise to review on Amazon but I know I will agonize over it more than a bot. Even though bots can express surprise when serving coffee in a story, can they agonize over a book review or is that going to happen in a story only? :)
I find AI helpful but not with fiction. Perhaps a genre writer writing something with a fixed structure like Harlequin romances can make better use for it. Overall, if you want originality and intelligence AI isn't the place for it.
If you asked it to write a scathing review it would have no scraped data to reference, and it would random return aggregates of scathing reviews and insert your title and your novel's characteristics. If you asked it to provide an inscrutable review of your novel written by Bartleby from Melville, you could then ask it to turn it into a scene from Othello. I guess I'm not expecting true information from it, just teasing the ghosts in the machine.
I don't yet have a body of work for A.I. to review, so I have no test results to report. I enjoyed your quickie story of the robot barrista. It reminded me of the story in Ghost in the Machine where people would have electronic implants to enhance their bodies. You got my imagination churning, thnak you!
Hah, yes, that is what the AI does, just collects a bunch of things and jumbles them around to create something new-ish. But there are companies who are working on improving AI, for better or worse.
That's all AI can do -- mash things together. There is no thinking. There is no logic or reason. Thanks for illustrating that so clearly. And when people us AI to generate an image (like the one you use here) and text, that's all the AI is doing -- mashing together what's been fed into it by programmers.
Interesting idea and there may yet be a novel (new) response as these LLMs improve. I have no reviews of my work, so I might attempt to write a super prompt for ChatGPT and see if it can manage something…novel. I won’t hold my breath though.
Cool idea but not surprisingly, AI does a polished paraphrase...
haha yes
I do relate to your coffee choice a lot!
Good morning Alexander,
I've been using Ai for some time now, and if there is one thing I've learned it is this: HOW you ask.

For sure, might try that!
Fun experiment.
This is a great idea! Too bad it needs other reviews to exist before it can get started

That is so cool thar you are both reading and I wonder how his perspective of the first will change!
Me too. because I've only read the first! Now I can't wait to finish the second.
Let me know!

That was interesting. I never thought of that. I have been meaning to ask you this: did you give Gain and Medium up?
I just answer some questions time to time that editors havw
I noticed Kim publishes. Which she is awesome

That’s awesome, also thinking of Ghost in the Shell now

Will be interesting to see
Fun experiment. I do like the idea of it summarizing all the reviews on a product for me.
Its pretty cool!

Very true
I guess it's for anyone who's too lazy to read all of the other reviews. This sort proves how technology is just making us lazier.
haha yes
It was a good review, but I could see how it would take from another. Lol ☕️
hahah

Could be interesting
