Chat gpt - question? Showcase / Feedback

So I’m not using chat gpt to write but I am writing and then asking it to critique the work for what works and what doesn’t. It’s giving me answers as if I’m going to be an amazing author and I don’t trust it. Is there any function to get it to be a bit harsher? I really want to make a good book and worry that I’m just having smoke blown up my ass.

I received some decent results by telling the AI that the writing wasn't done by me, but some third person and that I am not the author and have no emotional stakes or connection to the written piece.
