This is more sad and pathetic than anything. But this is the result of toxic masculinity.
Huh. Playboy is still around.
Meanwhile I get pissed off whenever I talk to AI about books I'm reading because they have no idea of the concept of spoilers, they consistently simp to my opinions and when they spew falsehoods and "misremember" facts from books I've already read, they simply say "GREAT CORRECTION! I WAS SO WRONG THERE, YOU'RE RIGHT, PROTAGANIST DIDN'T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3. MY LAST 2 PAGE SYNOPSIS ABOUT HOW PROTAGANIST DIED IN CHAPTER 3 IS A BIT INCORRECT, AND NOW HERE'S A 300 WORD ESSAY ON HOW I NEVER ACTUALLY SAID PROTAGONIST DIDN'T ACTUALLY DIE IN CHAPTER 3!
Seriously. How can anyone talk to an LLM and not feel like they're talking to a glorified phone answering computer?
I was lost in a book and needed a refresher. Prompted ChatGPT to explain me plot up to some chapter like 2/3rds in.
Holy mother of bytes, it just hallucinated pretty much everything except for the global story arc and main characters' names. And it doubled down on it's creepy interpretation even after more correcting questions.
I've used chatgpt for book suggestions a couple of times with decent success. The annoying thing is that sometimes it hallucinates really interesting books that don't exist by authors I like.
I've also had decent results so far. I'm not going to take an LLM's word for anything, but a lot of the recommendations I've received were for books I'd already read and enjoyed so they're not completely useless in this regard.
