We’ll still stumble on new books on bookstore shelves and, humbled by the grandeur of their cover designs, declare that there’s no way they could have been designed with AI. That’s not my point.ĭo I doubt that there will still be fantastic cover designs from talented designers? Of course there will be. But I’ll challenge you to consider exactly where the human touch brings sufficient added value to justify the overhead in time and costs.ĭoes any of this mean that there will be no future for great novels and fine nonfiction studies? Of course it doesn’t.
I’m not going to claim that Formula One publishers won’t be able to do a better job than AI on many of the processes described below. I’m going to be talking about “good enough”-about what people will accept, what they’ll buy, and what they’ll actually read. If you claim that one day all cars will be self-driving, someone will point out that this won’t apply to Formula One race cars. When you make absolutist claims about a technology, people will invariably try to defeat you with another absolute. The second proviso is of a different flavor. Without it, what I’m describing is impossible. A range of associated technologies and processes can and will be brought into play that augment the functionality of generative AI. The first is straightforward: this is not just about ChatGPT-or other GPTs (generative pretrained transformers) and LLMs (large language models). And, if this is true, then the trade book publishing industry as we know it will soon be obsolete. I believe that every function in trade book publishing today can be automated with the help of generative AI. Not incremental change-something gentle, something gradual: this AI changes everything, fast.
The latest generation of AI is a game changer.
