Yeah, sure, artificial intelligence is going to change the world. But what if we put its powers to good use and got some book recommendations from it? In this video I’m putting ChatGPT to the test to see if it can help me find my next favourite book.
Will this exciting technology deliver on its promises? Let’s find out…
If you want to try it out for yourself, here's a link to ChatGPT: chat.openai.com
And here's the prompt I used, plus the follow-up specifying more detail 👇
--
I want you to act as a book recommendation expert. I would like you to recommend me 3 books to read, and for each recommendation give 3 reasons why I should read that book.
To give you an idea of what I like to read, my favourite types of books are {insert your favourite genres}. Some of my favourite books include {insert some books you like}.
I'd like to be more specific with my request. Give me three books that are:
1. Adult fiction
2. Novels
3. Less than 300 pages
4. Less well-known
--
Give it a go and see if you find some good recommendations, and let me know in the comments.

P.S. I cannot believe @jack_edwards posted his ChatGPT video *as I was editing mine*. I promise you I am not attempting to live my life as a poor imitation of his, (even if it looks that way, haha). But now that I've posted this I can go and watch his video.
