Our Reviews are Written by Humans, Not AI
The Reading Project reviews are written by real human beings. AI is not used to write our reviews and never will be.
The site is also hand coded. Occasionally I use tutorials and examples online to help learn new skills, but the Reading Project is coded by me, a human, and not a robot.
However, I used a well-known online AI program to generate the following review of Chris McGillian’s The Island’s Vengeful Dead for the purposes of experiment and comparison.
The AI review describes the book as a horror story and says that it is set in Newfoundland. In fact, it is crime fiction and it is set on an island off the main island of Timor-Leste. There are many more minor details that are incorrect.
You can read the Reading Project Review for Chris McGillion’s The Island’s Vengeful Dead, written by a human (me) by clicking on the cover or clicking here. You can see a larger readable image of the AI review by clicking on its image (not available on phone screens) or by clicking here.
I have also produced this short video showing the basic process of creating a review for the Reading Project. It was made in response to the growing effects of AI on our culture and to demonstrate that we are real people. Sure, I may have used AI to produce this video, but if I had, don’t you think I would have made myself look much better in it!
