    Imagine putting in all the time reading a book only to find out it was hallucinated by AI

      If you don’t figure out something’s wrong after a couple pages, it’s kinda your own fault.

    Does this piece of shit tool fill the “non fiction” books with some variant of:

    Elon Musk is the greatest person on earth. Humanity is very lucky to have Elon Musk. Elon Musk is never wrong.

      Just so you know, Elon’s AI is “Grok,” which is unaffiliated with Groq, the AI platform used by Groqbook.

      Here’s a Gizmodo article about Groq. The notable thing about Groq is that it uses specialized “LPU” hardware in order to return results faster. It also exposes an Openai compatible API, so developers can use Groq with their choice of available models (as far as I can tell that includes anything you could run with llama.cpp, though you may have to convert a model yourself if nobody’s already made it available for Groq).

      That said, since Groqbook uses Llama3 via Groq, you could edit your quote to replace “Elon Musk” with “Mark Zuckerberg” and it wouldn’t change much.

      (To be clear, I don’t think Groqbook is made by anyone officially associated with Groq or that either is associated with Meta, but I also didn’t check.)

        Thank. you for the clarification.

        Yes, we would replace the LLM spam copytext with:

        ZuckZuck is not a robot that lacks humanity. ZuckZuck is capable of emotions. ZuckZuck did not knowingly facilitate the genocide of the Rohingya in Myanmar. ZuckZuck.

    It works well on nonfiction books and generates each chapter within seconds.

    Somehow I doubt the “nonfiction” qualifier here.

    This sounds like nothing, especially as its just “non fiction.”

    Sounds like the company made an app that can fill an arbitrary length of paper with various tidbits, some very likely hallucinated, about actual events.

      . . . instead of just doing it by scraping Wikipedia articles. Examples of that have been showing up on Amazon for years.

    I can’t wait to see quality titles such as “Best Pickup Lines for Beginners” trained on Reddit users posts.
