Everyone talks about AI because this is a topic you can't avoid . What you knew about books and writing could be forgotten when you talk about AI.
I start to write when I was sixteen. I was writing in my notebook. Soon I had a bunch of notebooks, and many pencils. Some of that manuscripts stayed on my shelf, never published. The pages of notebook are yellow and full of dust.
After this, I was writing on a typing machine. It was unpractical work . My hands got dirty from black color of printer toner and I had many of typing errors that wasted my time.
With the age of computer, my work progressed. 2017 I was publishing my first book in Amazon Kindle. Today, I have cell phones, tablet and laptop, I can pick where to write. What did not change is my desire to write. I have this narrative instinct inside of me.
When I hear people talk about AI covers and AI books, I froze. It looks, anyone can write with a help of AI. That is gross. I remember guys from my high school who were not able to write a homework, so now they can write a book? Those who hate reading, literature, books, they can write?
AI is a bad master. If we let AI to rule, it will delete emotions. Stories will be automatic, grammar correct, but without a soul. Look at algorithms, for example. How many times it marked my book as ineligible? The same book is eligible for few days, depends of algorithm. Look at AI covers, these perfect faces, clear print, without passion.
On other hand, there is something that AI can help. As indie author, I am target of book marketers. One day I received a message "I can make A plus content for your book." This was so funny to me, because every author can make it with a help of Kindle. So, now I can make my blurbs, banners, teasers, Aplus content, editing, with AI. It will stop those parasites to ask money from me. I think they have less customers and naive people who think that marketers will sell their books.
AI can be a good servant, if you set up limits. I will never write books with AI, but it can help with my marketing. So called experts can forget big money, because AI will beat them.
AI can't fool readers. They will know who is a real writer, and which book is AI. A bad master cant' rule if you don't let him.
