If each author had an official AI version of themselves, one they licensed and approved, trained on their books, talks, and interviews, with revenue going back to them and you could pay $15 per book to talk it through in a voice or video call while you read, would you try it?
I'm considering building this and want your opinion. Just asking if this interests people, like would you pay for that or at least try it free or would you just paste the book into ChatGPT for free?
I’d pay 15$ for a second book that had more details and explanations though.
AI still makes up stuff, not fun with books
AI≠ Inteligence= no growth
Purpose of books will be doomed if you use AI in them
It's possible there would be a market for this in genres where there is a strong parasocial connection to the author that drives a desire to simulate interaction.
For something factual or scientific/mathematical, I would not want to interact with a nondeterministic pretend version of the author.
You've reached the end!

Like I might want to ask the author of a book why he didn't cite a book that was cited by many of the books he cited, was relevant to what he was trying to say, particularly looking back 20 years later comparing his work to other works that followed it.
The answers to that aren't in the book!
