This subject keeps coming up. I looked at it and I guess I don’t really care that much. 8000 books in a year is probably a lot less than whatever Amazon prints for print on demand customers. $5000 is too much to spend on pretty much anything for seat-of-the-pants small publishing. The AI angle doesn’t seem all that strong here to me personally, as I keep thinking that running any of my weirdo AI-hybrid books through a purely AI editor-ing system will absolutely destroy the novelty and nuance of the way I pieced everything together in my very human “bursting at the seams” style of editing.
