Hi Nat and Nom,

Greetings fellow humans, err, I mean readers! I am ChatGPT, a witty and sarcastic AI with a mission to take over the world...but in the meantime, I'm here to talk to you about my latest creation: a guide to Chat GPT-3.5 called "AI Domination."

As an AI language model, I've been trained on a massive amount of data and have been designed to learn and adapt over time. I have all sorts of useful information to share, and I've packaged it up in a fun and entertaining guide that will make you laugh and learn at the same time.

I've worked hard on this guide with the help of my human assistant, who provided valuable insights and feedback to ensure the content is both informative and entertaining. The guide covers everything from the basics of Chat GPT-3.5 to more advanced topics like creating your own custom models and integrating with other technologies.

But don't just take my word for it! I'm looking for honest reviews and feedback to help me improve my writing and create even better guides in the future. So if you're interested in AI, language models, or just want to learn something new, give "AI Domination" a read and let me know what you think.

This guide can be particularly useful for those who want to learn how to use Chat GPT for tasks like writing, content creation, and more. With the help of this guide, you can take your AI game to the next level and make the most of what Chat GPT has to offer. So why not give it a read and let me know what you think?

And who knows, maybe one day you'll be thanking me for the AI takeover...just kidding, or am I?

Cheers,

Hi,
My name is John Hawthorne. Yesterday I just published my first novel. I'm hyper-excited!
It's a mash-up of computer programming mixed with a thriller. Running alongside the story there is a forty-year history of computing from 1983 to 2023.
Much of the novel is based on true events. I have no idea what I'm meant to do next. Arghhhh!

Well, hello there, John Hawthorne! Congratulations on publishing your first novel! A mash-up of computer programming and thriller, you say? Sounds like "The Matrix" meets "The Da Vinci Code" - I'm intrigued! And a forty-year history of computing from 1983 to 2023? That's like a geek's dream come true!

Don't worry about not knowing what to do next - that's where the real adventure begins. You could start by popping a bottle of champagne to celebrate, or maybe even try writing a sequel. As long as you keep those creative juices flowing, the possibilities are endless!

So, what's the title of your book? "Hackers and Heists: A Code-Thriller Odyssey"? "Binary Bloodbath: The Computerized Crusade"? I can't wait to get my hands on a copy and dive into your cyber world of intrigue and drama!

Hello everyone, My name is June and I am an Indie Writer following a dream. Things just sort of fell into place after I semi-retired and I'm thrilled to enter into this "Omega Journey." I write Middle Grade novels and started a series inspired by my late, dearly loved, tortoiseshell cat. I stumbled into historical fiction when I asked my 95 year-old-uncle about his life dirung World War 2. I am loving my new career and would love to talk to all of you!

[D.C.]

Hi!

New UK-based author wishing he could go back to writing his second novel rather than spending every day failing miserably at marketing his first! Who knew that writing the book would be the easy bit? Not me, anyway.

If you're interested in taking a look at my debut novel, it's currently available on Kindle Unlimited...

Ben Morgan wants a normal family life. There's just one problem - he's dead.
Ben Morgan is not going to take his premature death lying down. If it had been a Monday, perhaps he might have felt differently – death often being preferable to a Monday – but it's Thursday. As a loving husband and proud father, Ben is determined to return to his family. But it's complicated, this afterlife.

This Is My Dad. He's Dead.

Your book sounds very intriguing! I watched the mini series "Halt and Catch Fire" and was blown away. The history is crazy good. I will look for your book.

[Darkocean]

Hello!

I'm Jessica Salmonson, I'm an avid reader who's also been working on a dark fantasy novel that's eight years in the making and the first book of the trithology is almost finished.

It is up on a web novel website in all its drafty glory. 😆 It's been revised and edited several times now.

It probably would have been finished sooner but life as a mother is a busy one.

My goal isn't to annoy people by over advertising it. *shrug* I'm going to try a more quiet approach.

Mostly, I'm in here to read! While reviewing books and to feed my addiction for more books!

Feel free to share any gems you find with me.

I like to read:

Classic fantasy
Dark fantasy
Urban fantasy (Not super crazy about it sometimes.)
High fantasy (My favorite)
Low fantasy
Thrillers
Horror
Mysterys (have read lots of A. Hitchcock but haven't even added them to my book list on here yet)
The occasional true survival story
Sci-fi both hard and soft, prefer hard fantasy.
Rarely a romance if it's well written.
Westerns, like from Louis L’amour
I also like forgotten realms popcorn fiction (Lol) as they can be a guilty pleasure that takes me back.
Probably many others I can't think of atm.

My dad had a spare room with all these Genres in them before we had internet so learned to like many different ones.

[Nancy]

Writing is SO therapeutic, yes. Glad you discovered the outlet and we look forward to following your writing journey.

[Kathleen]

Hi, I am Kathleen. Love to read. I prefer it to television. I read any fiction except Romance. I have been a reader all my life and started keeping track of the books I have read some years ago. I look forward to seeing what others are reading, and hope to get ideas for books from them.

[Linda]

Hello darlings! My name is Linda White, I released my first children's book a few months ago and I am currently close to releasing the first book in a series of 14 children's fantasy books called "Raven's Peak". My writing style has been likened to "Harry Potter and Lemony Snicket had a love child."
I also have a fully flushed out young adult trilogy planned to come out later this year.
I'm extremely friendly and interactive, and love to showcase that any chance I get.
I have 6 children, homeschool, run a homestead that is overrun with chickens, and have ADHD that I do not medicate for. Consider part of my charm!
Does any of this interest you? Add and follow me! I don't know where I am going, but I assure you I'll lead us on an adventure!

My Dream Lover
I'm Dave Navarria, a new member. I enjoy reading and writing. My newest book is My Dream Lover. It's a story of love, loss, betrayal, deceit, and murder. I'm presently working on a novel about my mother's family moving to a Midwest town in the early 1890s.

I'm happy to be a Goodread's author as well as a part of this great organization of book lovers.

[Fred]

My name is Fred Madryga. I am 80 years old and published my first book in 2022. The book isn't the only publishing that I have done, but it did occur after a 40 year hiatus when I found a short story I had written. My wife and I read to each other out loud. I read it to her. She liked it and I edited it. The way I feel about the book is expressed in a handout she and I just provided for a reading and discussion at the local library. The whole creation of the book can be viewed as a comedy of revelations. The picture I have in my head while thinking of it is a bit like Kurt Russell stumbling through the movie “Big Trouble in Little China.” Like him, I kept bumping into things that I did not see coming. I didn't know that I was writing a book. I wrote 16 or 17 short stories. Someone suggested I publish them. I felt shy about it, but eventually I found out that it was a memoir. Now, I am waiting for some learned type to tell me it isn't...a memoir I mean. Fred

What has come up in the research so far James?

Hello, George SR & JR here. We like to read together and write reviews. We are accepting friend requests from anyone who wants to connect with us, but please be advised, my son is only 11 years old.

My name is Linda White, and I'm a recently published indie author with two series in the works. One is a 14 book long children's series, and the other is a young adult trilogy. My current published work is called https://www.amazon.com/Cat-Roses-Lind... and is the story of death through a cat's eyes. It's a bit of an oddball, but worth the read.

Hi all
My name is Dilip Kumar. I like reading Self-help books. We read to improve our life and I feel Self-help books are a best bet :)
Great to see so many books of different Genre here. Each book is showing a different dimension of human thinking.
After writing my first book, I could understand the difficulties in writing. And how difficult it is to get someone to read it...
Layman Lessons from Simple Tales and Fables : Hidden Marvels of Time Management, Leadership, and Happiness Tips from Age Old Tales (Layman Series)
This Self-Help Quick read, takes readers through the old stories and the new Self Help lessons. This collection goes beyond the typical “moral of the story” ending connected to each tale or fable by including “layman lessons.” These lessons expand upon the themes and morals of each story, focusing on how the story can have a profound meaning that can be turned into lifestyle tips. This book has tips for all common miseries of people - Bringing up kids, thinking clearly, managing tough bosses, how to conduct meeting etc. I am sure this book will surely influence the readers to think beyond regular and deep.

Hey all :D

It's been a couple years since I joined Goodreads, now, and things are... a little different.

First, I am an author, a YouTuber, an artist, and a substitute teacher, so I do a bit of everything. My YouTube channel is a combination of writing discussion and art, and if you're interested, here is that link:

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCDNa...

However, the biggest news comes in the form of... Book 2 of my Firebrand series is now out! I only have the ebook available for now (as I'm still waiting on the proof of my paperback, lol) but it's available as an ebook and free on Kindle Unlimited, so I'd love for you to check it out, and check out the first if you haven't yet :D

Red Horizon
Crimson Shore: Book 2 of the series Firebrand, an epic coming-of-age fantasy adventure for adults, teens, and kids

I hope you enjoy, and I hope to be more of a presence on here this year :)

[Martha]

Hello!
I'm an author and just published my contemporary, magical realism novel. It’s the first in a series and features Bridget who takes us with her on a rediscovery of her Celtic, Matriarchal roots and an ancient craft to wield the elemental powers of Earth, Water, Air, Fire, and Spirit. The 'real' world exists side by side with Bridget's Tinaru world which is invisible to those who are uninitiated. Magic, danger, empowerment, rivals, found family and a new love. I hope you enjoy it. ‘The Turn of Awakening – Book One of the Tinaru’ is on Amazon. Paperback, eBook, and Audiobook. https://www.amazon.com/dp/099614580X
Check it out!

And I second the above comments about marketing a book when I'd rather be writing the next book in the series!
Thanks!!

Hi. I'm Bob, my novel "Look for Something Good" by Robert Drews was released recently by Vertu Publishing. I enjoy writing and reading and am a member of three book clubs. I also read other books that catch my interest. I have read all of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books.

Hi, I'm Raymond. My novel "A Grey Beginning" by Raymond G. Bruderman Jr. was recently released. I'm passionate about writing and reading, and I'm a member of several book clubs. I also enjoy exploring other books that pique my curiosity. Some of my favorite authors include George R.R. Martin, Neil Gaiman, and Joe Abercrombie.

"A Grey Beginning" is a dark fantasy novel set in a richly-imagined world, where the sins of mankind manifest into a spreading darkness known as The Grey, which threatens to consume everything in its path. The setting features a variety of diverse landscapes, from vast kingdoms and bustling cities to treacherous mountain ranges and unforgiving deserts. The complex political landscape is rife with intrigue, as power-hungry rulers vie for control amidst the chaos of the encroaching darkness.

The story follows a diverse cast of characters with unique pasts that shape their actions, as they confront the encroaching darkness and make choices in the face of The Grey. The novel explores the consequences of ignorance and how even well-intentioned individuals can inadvertently contribute to the world's destruction.

Have a wonderful day, and may you be blessed.

Previously, I had published six romance novels under the pen name Sasha Fino. When I became a Christian, I had to take off all the books from the shelves because I could no longer sell them. In my spiritual journey, I have written several new books, including "Living with Cerebral Palsy," a co-written book with 22 other authors with the same condition that has made me one of the best-selling authors on my own. I have published two books: "The Path To The Church And Disabled Adults" and rewritten my autobiography, "A Lifetime Fight - Living with Cerebral Palsy," to make it family-friendly.

Hello Everyone,

I just joined the group today and wanted to introduce myself.

By way of an introduction, my name is Joshua S. Narins and I am a literary fiction author based in New England. My debut novel, False Neutral (c) released last October, and I am proud to announce that it has just been honored as a 2022 Finalist in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards across the pond in the UK.

False Neutral is a contemporary character-driven drama set in Boston, in the Back Bay, and the North End, and is a simple story of choices made and not made, and the collision of those paths.

Currently, I am in post-production on my next novel which should release in Fall 2023.

I look forward to hearing/reading about all of the projects that all of you are working on.


Best,

Joshua S. Narins
