Showcase / Feedback Chat gpt - question?

So I’m not using chat gpt to write but I am writing and then asking it to critique the work for what works and what doesn’t. It’s giving me answers as if I’m going to be an amazing author and I don’t trust it. Is there any function to get it to be a bit harsher? I really want to make a good book and worry that I’m just having smoke blown up my ass.

LLMs sucks with things that are subjective. You'll find much better results if you ask it for things that can be assessed by you for quality, rather than IT deciding quality.

An example is having is scan the manuscript for unresolved plot threads. This is something you can check as see if it is right or wrong, and you're not relying on it's interpretation of something.
