ghostwriting with chat Gpt

Can I use Chat GPT to write my book?

That’s an inevitable thought for any potential author faced with a ghostwriter charging $$$.

Yes, sure. Go for it. Tell the algorithm what you need, and how long it should be, and it’ll kick out page after page. You’ll end up with something that looks like a book, feels like a book, and reads like a book. Because it *is* a book.

But it’s not *your* book.

It can’t be your book because it doesn’t have your experiences or your wisdom. It doesn’t have your voice or character. It doesn’t have any of the things that will make the reader feel that they can trust you to lead them on a journey.

It has an aggregate of information from the web, some of which is likely to be out of date. (The reserves of old stuff on the web far outweighs the cutting-edge content, so your bot is more likely trawling through copies of old encyclopedias than that thought-provoking new article you read last night.)

Perhaps you should try this. Use Chat GTP to generate scripts for all your spoken interactions with your family, friends, and workmates. If you try that for a day and no-one notices that it’s not really you talking, then that’s how you write your book.

But if people do notice, they’ll notice in your book, too. Then they won’t trust what you tell them – and even though writing the book was easier than writing it the more traditional way, it’s still a complete waste of time. For your readers … and for you.
