It’s a sad affair when the no-doubt-AI-generated summary of a book has a higher rating than the actual book.
The book itself, A Very Agreeable Murder, is a very fluffy mash-up of Jane Austen and Agatha Christie, pure escapist fun…I can’t see what the point of reading a summary of it would be. You either want the experience of fluffy escapist fun, or you just don’t read it all, surely 🤷♀️
@wendypalmer@bookstodon is there a way to report these to Goodreads? I've seen so much bs on there. They make reporting comments really easy, but I don't know if there's a way to report a book?
@wendypalmer@bookstodon One of my least favorite tasks is writing summaries / back matter for my own books, and chatbots are so USELESS at it.
I tried feeding ChatGPT a single early chapter of original work to summarize and without a few thousand high school essays to crib from, it had no idea what to do with it.
Screams, flames. In the distance, sirens.
I still cannot figure out what it's for when it's so bad at what should be rote, tedious work.
