Et l’aide aux lecteurs dans tout cela ?

Il est très probable que nous allons, comme bibliothécaires, recommander un livre écrit par un non-humain l’un de ces jours.

C’est presque inévitable.

Toutes les plateformes LLM offrent des recommandations de lecture selon les « prompts » des utilisateurs. Il existe de multiples générateurs de recommandations de lecture. Nos usagers vont utiliser ces générateurs, de bonne foi, pour découvrir de nouveaux titres, de nouveaux auteurs. C’est un prolongement de leur utilisation des plateformes LLM.

Mais… et il y a un mais.

J’ai testé un de ces générateurs de recommandations.

Quillbot, produite par Learneo est une de ces plateformes LLM. Learneo a été créée en 2024 en Californie. Une de ces innombrables compagnies offrant des services d’IA. Quillbot offre même un détecteur d’AI, un détecteur de plagiat dans sa série de fonctions.

J’ai demandé une liste de titres de science-fiction avec une diversité de personnages et un soupçon de mystère.

Ma requête: science-fiction with diverse characters and a dash of mystery.

Le résultat.
Aucun des titres recommandés n’existe.
Aucun.
Trente minutes de recherche par ISBN, par titre et auteur, etc.
Aucun des titres recommandés n’existe.

L’auteur Marcus Lee existe, mais ne publie pas chez Cosmic Ink (qui n’existe pas). Le titre existe, n’est pas un roman de science-fiction, mais un documentaire sur les mathématiques et l’art.

Un des ISBN, pour le titre #2, appartient à un roman de Charlaine Harris, l’autrice de la série True Blood, de 2009.

Le reste n’est que du vide.

Une autre requête précise : romance novels with diverse characters no violence with complete metadata, author, publisher, year, numbers of pages and ISBN.

Le résultat, quatre titres, qui existent et correspondent à la requête. Trois des quatre titres sont excellents.

La transcription et des captures d’écran des recherches des titres sont à la fin.

Il faut donc continuer d’être curieux, de creuser et vérifier les informations disponibles sur les livres demandés par les usagers de bibliothèques.

Et tester ces générateurs, pour rire un peu, peut-être découvrir un outil performant et utile, mais surtout pour être informé de ce qui existe et que les lecteurs utilisent.

Prochain test : Suggestion-me-a-book

Ce qui suit est la transcription des réponses et précisions ajoutées à la requête initiale. Des captures d’écran de Quillbot et des recherches sur Google des titres.

Discover a Science-Fiction Universe Brimming with Diversity and Mystery

If you’re drawn to science fiction that goes beyond the usual space opera tropes, I highly recommend exploring the works of authors who craft richly diverse characters embedded in worlds alive with intrigue and subtle secrets. These stories stand out because they blend the thrill of futuristic technology and alien landscapes with deep, human—and often complex—connections among a cast that reflects a wide spectrum of identities and cultures.
What makes this kind of science fiction truly captivating is how it uses the unknown—whether in the form of enigmatic phenomena, hidden conspiracies, or mysterious origins—to keep you engaged while exploring themes of belonging, identity, and resilience. The characters aren’t just travelers in a strange universe; they embody a range of perspectives and experiences that feel authentic and relatable despite the speculative setting.

Reading in this genre is an invitation to embark on a journey where every revelation peels back layers of both the universe and the characters’ inner worlds, making the experience as emotionally compelling as it is intellectually stimulating. If you enjoy stories that challenge expectations and immerse you in a multifaceted reality with a touch of suspense, these science-fiction tales are a perfect match.

Dive in, and you’ll find yourself not only exploring the far reaches of space but also the depths of human connection and mystery, leaving you eager to unravel what comes next
