It's funny coz I always thought murderbot was a girl bot, but he is surprisingly a good awkward bot 🥹

I usually go and read reviews of my completed books, sometimes to see if I missed anything themewise/plotwise, but mostly for the fun of it. Now I can't even get through some of the recent reviews without visibly CRINGING at the blatant AI. Can we just have one thing that is not touched by AI in this hobby??? I've seen it on here. I've seen it on GR. I've even seen it bookstagram captions. I mean, is it really that serious???? I get it, I find it hard to articulate everything I felt about a book in a few paragraphs. But the idea of using AI to do so just fills me with secondhand embarrassment. I would rather write a corny ahh statement like “I couldn't put this down!” rather than resort to asking chat to write a review?? The tone is always so unbearably positive, and the sentences all follow the same formulaic wording, it is nauseating. Even if all the points brought up are good, just reading those generated reviews takes away any joy I had in reading. I wish people who did use it knew how obvious it is to spot an AI post. I mean, you are posting this review to be read by people who love to read? You don't think we can recogbise wack ahh AI slop when we see it?? Embarrazzing.

is this supposed to be this slow? i feel like its a drag, and i cant wait to be done following june around. definitely surprised how i am not excited to pick an rf kuang book. it is my first one, so far not sure how i feel about her work.

Don’t really know how I made it all the way towards the end. The majority of the time j didn’t know what was going on and couldn’t keep the characters straight or the switching POV but I still like it! Definitely better as a physical read

Not the type of book I usually pick up and had zero expectations going into it but I'm pleasantly surprised! I want to be a part of the Murder Club and am so curious about what Elizabeth did in her earlier life (probably some kind of espionage let's be honest).
