OK, so yeah, there’s
But it’s neither very good nor comprehensive. I think a user-generated Wiki that’s extremely extensive in its number of entries (like Goodreads) and has deep chapter by chapter break downs, user discussion boards, questions, themes etc. would be extreeeemely useful. I imagine it covering every kind of books: fiction, nonfiction, poetry, etc. or anything with an ISBN#.
I would like this personally because a lot of times I’d like to discuss themes in books that are a bit too obscure to get many replies to on a sub like this. If you are posting directly to the specific book’s wiki page you know you’ll be getting feedback from people also thinking about that book.
Anyone downvoting me should try it. I asked it to summarize up to what I’ve read in a book I haven’t picked up in months and it did the thing.

This tracks with what I know about chatgpt. It will often correctly pull information and give it to you but other times it will outright fabricate things in attempt to answer your question. There was a story last year about a lawyer who didn’t understand that chatgpt will do this false information thing and they used it to try and find relevant legal rulings, and chatgpt made up a legal ruling that the lawyer actually used in a court. The judge did not take kindly to that.
