Latest Review: My Trip To Adele by R.I.Alyaseer and A. I Alyaseer

Re: Review of Brian, Created Intelligence

Post by Lunar gate »

It's fascinating to read someone's review and aspire to write as honestly as they do. While going through others' comments and perspectives, I've come to understand that everyone has a unique thought process. As a result, I don't have a strong opinion about the book. Overall, I've decided to skip reading it because it doesn't seem like an easy read.

Thanks, Lunar, for your kind words. I feel like being honest, especially when a book is this challenging to read, will help other readers to make informed decisions before choosing their next book.

That's a lot of negatives! That you still read it proved you commitment as a reviewer. Sudden and unexpected pov change is disorienting, I hate it so much. It's really regrettable that such a promising book is not structured better. I appreciate your honest review and rating. Thank you.

HI RJ, to be honest it was the captivating storyline that kept me going, so props to the author for that, but yeah I think the structure needs a huge overhaul.

I don't think that I like the whole concept of AI having its own mind and it scares the hell out of me. After watching several movies about how AI wants to get rid of humanity or control us, I wouldn't like the whole idea. But I would like to read this book though to know the authors perspective.

Hi, well this book takes your fear to a whole new level as it's a human brain that's created, as an AI. Very scary, but who knows if it's not going to be what the future holds. I hope you enjoy the story.

"Brian, Created Intelligence" offers a thought-provoking premise, exploring the potential link between AI and a genetically manufactured brain. While the storyline is fascinating, the book suffers from structural issues, including confusing timelines and abrupt narrative switches. Despite professional editing, reader-friendliness is lacking, requiring improvements for better readability. However, fans of sci-fi and AI enthusiasts may still find the concept engaging, despite these challenges.

The whole idea of attaching a human brain to AI always leaves me speechless. A little incredulous, I think. But if he perhaps solves a real problem then why not. I certainly would to read the author's views concerning this development.

Hi Mfon, yes, the entire concept is so intriguing, and that's what kept me going through the book. Interestingly at no point did I question that this creation couldn't be real.

Books about AI and dystopia remind me of Terminator. This book might be interesting to add to my reading list. Thank you for writing this review. What a great writing.

It feels really bad , when good concepts doens't get solid storyline or impactful narration without fillers. The concepts feels intersting but if theres confusion between chapters that's gonna be truly challenging.

Sometimes, few books start with great time but as story moves, the concepts loose it's charm. I believe this book went through same, AI subject is curious topic yet the author not able to deliver intense output.

Harshitha, it really was. I had to keep the chapter list open the entire time to be sure I knew where in the timeline the current chapter fell. It was confusing.
