It would actually be nice to have a book-LLM. That is, an LLM that embodies a single (human-written) book, like an interactive book. With a regular book, you can get stuck when the author didn’t think of some possible stumbling block, or thinks along slightly differently lines than the reader. An LLM could fill in the gaps, and elaborate on details when needed.

Of course, nowadays you can ask an LLM separately. But that isn’t the same as if it were an integrated feature, focused on (and limited to) the specific book.

I've not used it, but isn't this kind of what NotebookLM does?

You drag a source into it such as a books PDF and then you have a discussion with it.
