a new use case for ai i recently discovered. the other day, i started reading a classic russian novel, but it had so many different characters, and throughout the book people kept referring to them with different names and nicknames. every character had like 4 or 5 different variations of their name. just figuring out who was who took effort. so i opened google gemini and said: “list every character in this book with all of their nicknames and alternate names, explain who they are, but absolutely do not spoil the story.” and it actually did an amazing job. it listed all the characters with their general traits and nicknames without giving away spoilers. now i keep the list next to me as a guide while reading, and i never get confused anymore.
