I'm new here, so I don't really know about this, but it looks like an attempt to create individual threads for specific books?

I didn't upload the book in this case. I could tell from the links that ChatGPT was using as references that it did have access to the full text through a website that had the text of the book, perhaps not legally.

It appeared it had access to the entire book - it linked me to a website that somehow had the text. I was able to coax better responses out of it when I corrected its mistakes about plot etc.

That's a funny way to test it with a fake movie!

Ha ha. I'm experimenting with the technology.

It felt like a good reminder to me

What is the "boll"

I did have a much better discussion of 'Moby Dick' a while ago, but I imagine there is lots of info that AI has scraped from scholarly articles and the like about classics.

Point taken

The plot wanders around in a disorienting way. Characters who we were very focused on at one moment are all of a sudden dropped from the narrative in a hard-to-believe way. A lot of people apparently like it, but I’m stopping after the first book.

Struggling to understand Ben Aaronvitch’s Rivers of London. Recently read and like John Williams’ Stoner.
