Add works to Awards by "magic"

We've made a new "Add Multiple Works by Magic" feature to LibraryThing awards.

Basically, you paste something that includes a list of works, and we use AI to find the works. It's a great way to add a lot of works at the same time, for example for an award LibraryThing has never seen before. But it is NOT foolproof, so check your work!

I made a very quick video here:

Sounds good!

However: "video unavailable. This video has been removed by the uploader"

Video has returned https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r--i9bkuMrk

Is it really AI though, or is it just old fashioned heuristics?

ChatGPT. We've used other methods, for example when parsing Wikipedia. But this is ChatGPT.

>1 timspalding: It's really great. I used it for an award and it worked a treat. So much quicker. Thank you.

We've now added this same feature to Lists and Series. See post https://www.librarything.com/topic/355647

This is a nifty tool! I have used it!

But.

When someone uses this tool to add a stage on existing works, it produces duplicates that must be fixed manually. This happens a lot when winners are announced for awards that previously announced lists of finalists. Is there a way for this tool to check that the works are already listed, instead of just adding the works and creating duplicates?

(Tools shouldn't make more work than they save.)
