Well how else are you going to sort a list of about 30 books to decide which are worth time or not. The guy had bought an anthology of every Alien/Aliens novel and was complaining a lot of the books in it were really bad and wanted help knowing which ones are actually worth reading.

I just reply to things that show up my feed honestly and pretty randomly in fact that's why I've posted here as well.

I don't recall asking for your opinion. It's a bit hypocritical posting on social media telling people not to post on social media.

I replied because nobody was helping him and there's an easy solution. Didn't know r/books was now back in the dark ages to be fair.

Honestly if you aren't prepared to take advantage of modern tech I pity you, I do think Chat Gpt is a total waste of resources as far as energy etc but I'm going to take advantage of it while it exists.

Honestly it's kinda fun to play with you can ask it for cross over plots between shows, to make raps etc or ask it to show certain images in realistic HD. It's fun to toy with though I do think it probably shouldnt exist, that said I'm taking advantage while these companies are wasting massive resources on it.
