Show HN: Turning books into chatbots with GPT-3

I wonder why the books are all non-fiction. I could imagine it would be entertaining to chat with large works of fiction.

You can see some of the usual GPT consistency problems. I chose Alan Moore's Writing for Comics and asked it how I should start best when writing a comic. It suggested first thinking up characters and a world, then designing the visuals, then thinking up a story. I found that order somewhat odd, so I asked again if I should start with the story or the visuals - and suddenly it was very sure that I should start with the story, then design the visuals accordingly.

So, I really like the idea, but for now I'm not really sure the answers are always following the contents of the books.

Once the models improve, I'm very sure this will become extremely useful.

I agree. I'd like to discuss the plot holes in Harry Potter or check facts for some lore.

This is one application of AI that I absolutely like. Imagine in future the AI will be able to ingest any video, blog, books, manuals, license and whole lot of other things and we will just be able to ask questions to it or get a summary from it.

I wonder what will happen to actual content then. Currently YouTube is showing info about most watched section of the clips. It saves so much time! Now imagine that happening to everything above.

Hey.

Great to see you executed on this. I was discussing this same idea with a publisher this morning. Would love to catch up with you and understand a little more about the experiences you have had building and now getting feedback on the idea. Do you know Steve Jobs had this same vision?
