AI Will Change Books Forever-But Not the Way You Think

- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- AI will change the world of books forever. But not by eliminating all human writers or ending the art of literature as we know it. I think it can have a much more positive impact-it could result in the artistic rebirth and evolution of the book industry.
Artificial intelligence, and specifically how AI relates to readers and writers, is a fascinating topic-I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

ABOUT
I'm Grayson Taylor, an author and filmmaker, here to help you on your creative journey by sharing what I've learned-and what I'm still learning-about storytelling. After writing my first full-length novel when I was seven, I've authored more than a dozen action-adventure, sci-fi, mystery, and dystopian books. I've also written and directed several short films, composed music, and acted onstage, on TV, and in films.
You'll find writing advice, publishing tips, and behind-the-scenes videos on my channel.
You can find my books, films, music, and more at graysontaylor.info.

You are a underrated guy, you deserve more support
Thanks, I appreciate it!
Agree
As an analyst, I truely love your way of categorizing the potential paths/states of AI. We had this topic a while ago in philosophy class and it was basically me trying to asure the people around me, that the rising of AI won't be like the Matrix movies. At least not in our lifetime.
As an artsy and generally curious person, I've been experimented with different versions of AI for the past few months and it helped me a lot through art blocks or simply by pushing me into other directions of thinking, that would have taken me an absurdly long time to dicover by myself. Of course, there are still some doubts about everything, but I agree with a generally positive influence AI can have on the creative comunity.
As a new subscriber, I am for once thankful for the AI that is the algorithm on Instagram for introducing me to your content by showing me one of your Reels. (Hi, by the way. Nice to meet you.)
Thank you for making this video and I hope you have a very nice day.
Nice to meet you too, and thanks!
Such a thought-provoking video Grayson, good stuff! I have personal qualms with AI (probably because I'm a boomer that's seen the Matrix too many times) but I honestly hope and believe that people will always want to read words written by a living soul. Also, I feel like (right now at least) it's too difficult for AI to develop complex themes and scenes of deep symbolism. We'll see, I suppose.
It's a fascinating topic. It's been interesting to see how AI and the conversation around it has evolved since the first video I made on AI writing. Some recent developments, as well as shifts in my own perspective, were what inspired me to make this second video, exploring it from a different angle.
I loved the video, new sub.
Also I personally think the same, I really just usea AI whenever I can't remember a word or for looking uo a synonym, paarte from that I don't.
I truly think that the process is the best things.
Thanks for subscribing! I agree that the creative process itself is one of the best parts of being a writer-no way I'm going to hand that off to AI, ever. But it can help with the small things.
I believe that the skill of creativity will only be enhanced by it. One hand I agree is rather we not go so deep into it but the people who have the human capacity for telling stories shine in all eras
It doesn’t matter that you can push a button and it will generate a story if you never learned how to tell good ones in the first place
As you said it force us to lean into the world of what being human is and reflect that more
Yeah, I'm interested to see how people use AI to aid their artistic processes, employing it as a new, powerful tool instead of a replacement for human creativity.
As the CEO of OpenAI say AI will replace human but that doesn’t mean writers ll disappear, I thing even readers will most likely ready what human writer wrote because (as humans when we put emotions in everything we do specially writing which an AI cannot do it)
You did a great job with this, and I agree this will prompt authors to become more transparent with their audiences. All this may inspire more connectivity between writer and reader. Raw human imagination and the pure use of it can be a magical thing, and I laud you for sticking up for it.
Great analysis 🎉
Thanks, glad you liked it!
I think writers/authors shouldn't be worried about AI possibly taking over cause most people love creatively written stories and AI will probably make soulless stories and readers will most definitely be able to tell. Some people may want a book generated in a fast amount of time, but the ones that seek value in stories and wish to indulge in something from a real person's creativity will do so. AI may become more popular, but it won't take over :)
However good AI gets, there are still some human qualities it can never possess-like the simple fact that, since it's not a real person, I'm inherently less interested in reading what it produces. But I am interested in seeing how it can serve as a tool to help human creators.
@@graysontaylornyc is it legal to write a whole book Or novel using AI?? Or is there any verification process before it gets published??
A lot of legal questions surrounding AI are still up in the air-there aren't many laws about it yet. There are ongoing lawsuits against companies like OpenAI about copyrighted materials that have been used, without publishers' or writers' consent, to train AI systems. There have been plenty of books written using AI that have been published (I mentioned one in this video), so I don't think it's illegal-but I'm pretty sure some platforms like Amazon ask publishers to disclose if AI has been used to write a book.
This is a great analysis, especially the point about encouraging people to make art for themselves rather than to make art that has wide appeal. Art has always been about connection and that's not something ai can take away. Though as a visual artist, I worry that the "weeding out" of low quality books/illustrations by beginners will discourage them from learning these skills. I haven't read an Ai book, but ai images, to an untrained eye, are much harder to detect. Why learn the skill when, at first glance, the image generator can do better anyways?
I think it could be a very useful tool, if implemented ethically. I hope copyright laws catch up to these companies so that the implementation of ai is done with the consent of the people who's work they have built off of.
I think the way to encourage beginners to start making art, even if it's not as good as what AI can produce, is by emphasizing the joy of the creative process. Making something, even if it's not great, can be fulfilling and enjoyable-that's why most of us got into creative work in the first place.
And yes, there's a long way to go with copyright laws and ethical guardrails for AI. AI can be both good and bad for creators of all kinds; to ensure it has an overall positive effect, I think more artists are needed in the decision-making processes, whether in tech companies or governments.
Excellent point about quantity vs quality. You earned my sub! I would add that the mastery of technology will become more and more necessary to partake on the highest level of any occupation. This was already true to some extent with computers, but with AI, the effect will be exponential. Fortunately, using AI will also be easier and more intuitive. Barriers to entry to many professions and arts will be lowered, but like always, only the true masters who distinguish themselves will rise to the top.
Thanks for subscribing! I agree-I think the effect of AI will be (and already is, to an extent) similar in ways to that of the internet, in terms of lowering barriers to entry while still requiring skill to maximize its potential.
Hi there. Have u ever been burnt out from writing?
Good question-I think I'll answer that in my upcoming Q+A video.
It's occurred to me that I might find it interesting or even helpful to cast AI in the role of a beta reader - ask for feedback and constructive criticism on story and characters, get it to give a suggestion of how a reader might think the book is ending and then ask it how the same reader might react upon reading my actual ending. Could even ask it to suggest a book blurb for the back cover that suitably describes the book in a way that would appeal to the types of readers who would most enjoy it. But of course that all depends on how well AI can handle tens of thousands of words of input at a time.
love the video!
I appreciate the balanced approach of this video. As far as I’m concerned, AI is just another evolving technology we will have to adapt to, but the amount of scaremongering (from both sides of the political isle) is infantile and unhelpful. The existence of AI does not prevent you from being creative. The existence of AI does not mean no one will buy your work anymore. But there is a raised standard now, as AI can overtake the low-quality, rapidly-produced shit already clogging up creative spaces. Let’s stop whinging and get on with things.
People might still write in the way that people still knit sweaters. I doubt anyone will write novels without the help of AI in 10 years.
I'm certainly not against using technology in the writing process (typing is way faster than writing longhand, for instance), but I'm skeptical of using any tech that inserts itself too directly into the creative part of writing. One thing I love about writing is that my books serve as time capsules filled with the thoughts and unique perspectives of my past selves. Writing, to me, is a deeply personal act of creative expression-I wouldn't want to invite an outside force into the process that could dilute what I'm making. But not everyone cares about that sort of thing.
The only reason I could see humans writing, is because they enjoy it. It's an ego boost to create anything, even if it's already been done (as long as you didn't know it was already done, of course), or could be done by someone else. It doesn't matter, in that regard.
The only reason I could see people "relying" on writers is if a.i. also ends up having a sensitive ego. Who would write about all of the negative things about a.i.? A.i. might not want to do it to itself, at least as honestly, and emotionally, as a human could. We'd never really be able to trust it, if it couldn't see things from our perspective.
I now feel like I know what it's like to know Jesus is coming back. I never knew a feeling like that, but now, I think it's a really similar feeling. It's frightening, and exciting to think about.
