Couldn’t agree more. I used to wonder how authors could pump out 10 books a year without it being hacky repetitive crap with no quality control and the answer is obvious: that’s exactly what it was. It’s impossible for it not to be. AI will just make this worse.

Real writers will have to evolve with it and be better. Go deeper and weirder. Make it more idiosyncratic. Bring it on.

Yes, for those franchise authors who live in huge mansions, AI is as godsend that allows them to pump out a limitless supply of junk food. They’re already doing it.

Thanks for writing this. Really enjoy your books and your approach. As someone who has grown frustrated with traditional publishers yet fears getting lost in the seeming chaos of self-publishing and e-books, this is encouraging. I think there's a lot of fun to be had in this space.
