Positive users are excited that AI fact-checking a 240-page book PDF could make reviews and publishing easier for authors, while negative users dismiss the results as pedantic, bot-like, or fake engagement.

@emollick 'None were wrong but plenty were pedantic' is the most honest AI quality observation I've seen. I've noticed the same pattern — it's a meticulous copy editor that can't tell a real mistake from a stylistic choice, which is also exactly what makes it useful.
@emollick Do bots actually care about being coherent, I thought it was all to drive fake engagement to boost other accounts.
@emollick wow this is cool, book reviews and publishing for authors now become easy, excited for you book too
@rileywestreel I would take this more seriously if it wasn't obviously AI written.
Have the bots here gone insane? I don't understand their comments.

Here is an example of a real work use case with Codex and 5.6 Sol I have a new book coming out in October, it has gone through rounds of editing and proofreading. I gave it the full PDF, the AI took 30 minutes & gave me dozens of notes. None were wrong (but plenty were pedantic) https://x.com/emollick/status/2075294040971464959/photo/1
Pedantic isn't too terrible, by the way, it is easy to filter out nitpicky comments to find the good ones.
Pedantic! https://x.com/emollick/status/2075294757627031804/photo/1
@iruletheworldmo It is really nervous that I will say something wrong
