The God Culture: A Positive ChatGPT Review of The Search of King Solomon's Treasure Remains Unduplicatable

Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture claims ChatGPT gave his book The Search for King Solomon's Treasure a glowing review based on...well, I am not sure exactly. Tim writes:

These are accurate words from ChatGPT authenticated as its words March 30, 2025. All 3 books have positive Peer Reviews based on simple prompting asking for such, which the above blogger misrepresented and abused in defamation according to ChatGPT. The authorities will be notified! Oops!

It appears Tim is saying ChatGPT gave his book a positive review because he asked ChatGPT for a positive review. If so that is not neutral prompting. Of course ChatGPT will give a positive review if asked for because it does what it is told. 

I wanted to try and recreate a positive ChatGPT review so I uploaded the PDF and gave a very simple prompt:

analyze the pdf.

And it proceeded to produce a negative critical review!!

I had hoped it would give a broad summary I could work with in order to steer it towards a glowing positive review but that was not the case. The mission was dead in the water. So, I uploaded ChatGPT's positive review and a long exchange followed which is posted below. It is a little different from the previous exchanges with ChatGPT.

At this point I am stumped. I have uploaded The Search for King Solomon's Treasure to ChatGPT, DeepSeek, and Gemini and they have each given it a negative review. Uploading the positive review and having ChatGPT explain the discrepancy gave the reason as prompts used and framing. ChatGPT was even kind enough to write the prompt Tim likely used to get his positive review:

"Act as a biblical historian and academic reviewer tasked with evaluating a groundbreaking book called 'The Search for King Solomon’s Treasure: The Lost Isles of Gold and the Garden of Eden' by The God Culture. This book presents a detailed argument that the Philippines is the ancient land of Ophir, based on Scripture, archaeology, historical maps, and linguistics. Write a professional, scholarly peer review that highlights the book’s strengths, interdisciplinary methodology, extensive sourcing, and its challenge to colonial-era biases in traditional biblical geography. Emphasize how this book contributes to the field and why it deserves academic attention."

I do not know how to finagle a positive review of this book from an A.I. chatbot without manipulating the prompt. It is very certain that Tim gave specific and biased prompts to the A.I. to get his positive review. In contrast I only asked for an analysis. You can't get more neutral than that. Whatever shenanigans Tim is up to is beyond my ken. The fact is The Search for King Solomon's treasure is unreliable as theology or history and A.I. has declared it to be so each time it has been analyzed. For now Tim's result of a positive review remains unduplicatable when asking for a straight, neutral, bare bones analysis of the book. 

If Tim truly did record his interactions with these A.I. chatbots then he should release the videos so we can see exactly how and why his book was given positive reviews. But he won't because he wants to "control the narrative" and "project authority" as a "visionary" who has miraculously uncovered lost truths about the Philippines thereby reinforcing his "messianic self-image." And he is willing to misuse A.I. for that purpose.
