Book blurbs and loglines

[cerulean hornet]

I'm a fiction writer. I've tried using chatGPT for different tasks, and so far the only one that it is consistently very helpful at is to write blurbs and loglines.

I try to give it as much info as I can about the book, point out what information I want the most focus on, and it's surprisingly very good at putting it all together, drawing connections between separate sentences, to arrive at interesting summaries.

Another example of a process I use is to provide it with examples of book blurbs. I give it a few blurbs of published books, ask it to extract their formulas, and rewrite my blurb in that formula.

I've gotten some very interesting results from it. It was actually able to spot that one of the examples was humorous. How did it know? That's actually very cool.
