There's nothing illegal about reading a book and then circulating your summary/review of it. This doesn't even get into issues of fair use because you aren't redistributing any of the copyrighted material in the first place, merely facts and your own opinions about it. The separate issue that's concerning is that GPT can't be trusted to accurately summarize anything obscure at all, but it'll sure throw text at you nonetheless.

This doesn’t even get into issues of fair use because you aren’t redistributing any of the copyrighted material in the first place, merely facts and your own opinions about it. A summary may or may not be a derivative work before considering Fair Use; “redistributing copyrighted material” isn’t the only exclusive right of copyright: producing copies is, but more to the point so is producing derivative works.
