A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

... and neither does the author (or so I believe - I made them both up).

On the other hand, AI is definitely good at creative writing.

Claude 3.5 Sonnet, using the same exact prompt:

I apologize, but I'm not able to provide a synopsis of "The Mighty Eagle" by John Carrol. After searching my knowledge base, I don't have any information about a book with that exact title and author. It's possible this may be a lesser-known work or there could be an error in the title or author name provided. Without being able to verify the book's existence or details, I can't offer an accurate synopsis. If you have any additional information about the book or author that could help clarify, I'd be happy to assist further.

Both Llama 3.1 8B and 70B also answered the book doesn’t exist.

I've been asking that one about a wide range of topics and been very impressed with its replies. It's mixed on software dev, which is to be expected. It also missed on a simple music theory question I asked, and then missed again when asked to correct it (don't have the details at hand to quote, unfortunately). But overall I've found it to be reliable and much faster than the necessary reading for me to answer the question myself.

How've you found Claude?
