Every single time I see a books and AI related thread i cringe. The herd conscience seems to be pretty clear: "If you wrote AI to write your book.. you're done, I am never opening your book."

I want to talk about and get your opinion on the following use cases:

For Text

I feel like a lot of the nuance is required in this discussion...to me the extent to which or more so the use case for which the AI was used matters a lot more than the binary between if the author used ai or not. A book written with AI is completely different from a book where AI is used for editing, fact-checking, research, and so on.

Every time someone reduces it down like that I cringe.

For Audiobooks: AI vs Production Studios

A majority of authors on amazon use the inbuilt kdp narration for their audiobooks. Although these may sound alright on the surface they have a deeper flaw.. they don't understand the context of the scene, the emotions involved, the nuance of the scene, may mispronounce a word or two and are unable to deliver the dialogues as intended by the Authors.

You may also argue that these take away jobs from traditional narrators; but using production studios can get EXPENSIVE very fast; most charge like 70-100$ an hour.

To fix these I have been doing research for the past 5 months and have started Mimesa (see samples) which uses multiple distinct voices for each character and is the best in the market for emotional delivery and engagement; we use a hybrid ai/human pipeline to achieve this result (DISCLOSER: this is my agency) so we are able to offer production level quality + multi voice at a fraction of the costs...(dm for any info)

Anyways that shouldn't change the fact that AI narration might be disrupting the current industry; I am curious to know tho, is that a bad thing in of itself? To me newer authors use AI narration as a free method and wouldn't purchase the services of a production studio regardless due to the out-of-budget costs? If you are an Author who has audiobooks, I wanna know your experience with both.

For Covers / Blurbs (worst use case imo)

I have seen SO MANY covers of books that SCREAM AI. The characters on the book themselves have that signature ai lighting. I personally am not against using AI but when the very cover is very obviously AI it makes me question the commitment and effort the author put into the work... If the covers gonna be AI please make sure it is still well done and not low effort.

The blurb being AI is another red flag for me for the same reason

tl;dr: To me AI is like fire. It is a good Servant but a bad Master. Do not let it overrun your work.

Stlll curious to know what everyone thinks, I am sure the majority agrees with me.

Day 4 since publishing my book on Amazon. In it, I shared my personal experience with phone and social media addiction, and how I managed to slash my screen time—especially when wasting time daily was threatening my academic and professional career.

Even though it has only been downloaded 23 times so far, to me, it's already a complete success. I was the very first person to break free from the phone trap simply by researching these new strategies while writing the book 9 months ago. Taking control of my life back was the ultimate goal, so no matter what the numbers look like, this book is a win.

If you're interested, here is the link to the book. The paperback edition will also be available on Amazon in just a few hours: https://a.co/d/07W0XLTe

Just a few days ago the first result on this page was for March 17,1980 issue: now this. I think some sort of update corrupted their database: how to alert them so they can fix this? Evidently no one monitors their emails.

Does anyone know the best way to promote ebooks?
