Using AI with Men's Issues
I’ve created several custom GPTs focused on men’s issues. A custom GPT is essentially a private AI tool built on uploaded material. For example, one of the links below connects to Stephen Baskerville’s book Taken Into Custody. When you click the link, you'll be taken to a page where you can ask the AI questions about the book. It will search the content and provide a summarized answer.
In my testing so far, the responses have been clear and insightful. Occasionally, the AI rephrases ideas in its own words—but in most cases, these interpretations are accurate. Still, keep in mind that AI isn’t perfect. While it’s a powerful tool, its answers shouldn't be treated as final authority.
Currently, there are four custom GPTs available:
Stephen Baskerville’s book Taken Into Custody
My three books on men, boys, and healing
Research papers by James Nuzzo on male physical performance and exercise
A collection of PDFs from Ed Bartlett’s group CEDV/DAVIA, focused on men and domestic violence
I plan to expand this library and would love to hear your suggestions—what other material would you like to see added?
Note: You’ll need a free account with chatgpt account to access any of these resources.

I am very impressed how this interprets and summarizes the important points in my book. In the past, I have not always been as happy about how AI interprets my books. Sometimes, they will substitute standard talking points and cliches for what I actually write. But what Tom Golden has constructed here is very faithful to the nuances of what I write. I plan to use this to promote my books more effectively.
This is tremendous, Tom!
Can you expand to include Dr Stephen Baskerville's newer books: Who Lost America and The New Politics of Sex?
