An AI writes a book!

[Andrew Davie]

I'm beta-testing a new AI. I am quite impressed by its ability to research and plan, and so as a test I asked it to write a chapter of a book about the TIA. Here's what it came up with; I am yet to proof-read it all, but an initial glance leaves me quite impressed both with the quality of writing, and the planning required to actually make this.

The prompt I wrote (including typo) was "Let's write a book on programming the Atari 2600. I want to work on chapter 1, describing the TIA chip and how it works. Please do taht."

I'm interested in feedback/comments on this.

Here are the completely un-reviewed and un-tested code examples that the AI generated...

Here's a chapter on screen timing...  the examples need work, but other info seems well collated...

i'm not good at formulating texts in either german or english. That's why i've been using AI for that lately. But what I don't like about AI is it's tendency to repeat things. This can also be seen in the two chapters you have posted..

I was impressed it was aware of the Harmony/DPC+, and Andrew Davie in the bit about interlacing, but found the repetition was a bit annoying.

At first I thought Al(bert) would write a book.
