While there are many possible AIs out there, people are saying, including me, why should I pay $10 or more per month to use one? I'm trying the AIs out right now -- here's why, if I find one I like, I'll pay for it.

Anyone remember the old days when you were writing code? You'd run across a roadblock and need guidance. Back in the old days, first, you'd ask Usenet- and sometimes you'd get a useful answer. But if that didn't work, you'd actually buy a book. This was before Amazon so you'd have to go to a bookstore, pray they had more than six real CompSci books, and buy one. They weren't cheap.

Today, it's much the same -- first, you go to YouTube, wait through the ads, hope the content you want is there, and not AI generated, and if that doesn't work, you go to Stackoverflow, get yelled at, get told you have dishonored your parents, then, you are forced to see if Udemy or Pluralsight has a course, if Safaribooks has what you want, and, if all else fails, go to Amazon and buy a book. Again, none of this is $10 a month.

If AIs can do this, without my being yelled at, or ad'ed to death, it's worth it!

This is probably not possible due to copyright issues, but assuming I've purchased a large number of Kindle books over the years, is there a way I can feed them into an AI such that I can have it provide code assistance as I work? I know I can do this with GPT and PDFs, but most of these texts are not in PDF format. I know CoPilot and JetBrains claim to have AIs that have all of this info, but for reasons we all know, I need to keep a "closed corpus".
