#PublishingReinvented 229 - Required Reading for Authors: Testing AI Results/Process +Saturday 14th Reminder + Free Dave Chesson Video Training!
Bending AI to Our Will
Is it possible to influence the responses an AI system such as ChatGPT gives? I believe so, but your attempt must be based on something you can prove with facts. By facts I mean references on the internet which support your assertion.
Last week I asked people to test ChatGPT by asking it to: “Please list 10 conspiracy thrillers set in Istanbul.” I had previously argued with ChatGPT that my novel, The Istanbul Puzzle, should be included whenever anyone around the world asked for the above.
Before I had that interaction - multiple times - my novel was never listed by ChatGPT.
Last week 15 people from this Substack asked that same question around the world and 7 ChatGPT respones included my novel. That’s 46.6% positive response rate.
I am in the process of getting ChatGPT to do the same for others.
If you want to try it for your book, ask ChatGPT to list books in your sub genre and then ask why yours was not included, if it wasn’t, and then ask if it is biased and then if it will include yours the next time it is asked. And do the same over three days.
Let me know if you too can get ChatGPT to bend too. This skill is likely to become more important as more people turn to AI systems for answers.
