I listened to a podcast where an author spoke about using agentic AI to
make a writing "team". He had beta reader/critics responding from
specific perspectives, another grammar LLM, and an editor LLM - he'd
pass drafts back and forth between them like they were people as part of
the process. I have a couple of paid LLMs - Microsoft CoPilot for 365 as
part of a subscription, and Perplexity (I have a 3 month free trial
program). I started playing with them to see how they could benefit.

I was trying to research a science-fiction book I'd read as a teenager,
I only knew the name of one of the races in book, and tried Gemini,
Perplexity, ChatGPT and CoPilot. Only ChatGPT pulled up the book title
and author, along with a summary - and this was the free ChatGPT
version.

I assume that's more a function of the training library, not the LLM
itself.

Then, I tried giving them outlines of plot ideas to write - Gemini came
in last, the others were comparable. As a last task, I asked them all to
write a 500-word short story about an astronaut stranded on Mars, with
elements of the story Robinson Crusoe on Mars and The Martian.

ChatGPT felt more nuanced, CoPilot even used the names of the sources in
the story. Perplexity felt like a direct-to-dvd version of "The Martian"
that you'd see one on of those free channels on Roku".

I think I'll use CoPilot when writing, I like the idea of training it on
my own documents and having it easily identify my writing style and body
of work out of the box.
