I just got this email from the Bookpatch:
Blank page?
Book in your head?
Stuck getting started?
Since The Book Patch launched in 2009, we have helped over 60,000+ authors self-publish their books but one of the biggest, recurring problems we’ve seen that stops more books from being written and published is writer’s block.
So a few weeks ago, my son Zachariah started a challenge to help authors eject a book idea, stuck in their heads onto paper. If that is not a feat unto itself they wrote and published their book in 7 days.
So far he’s helped dozens of authors publish their books using our resources at The Book Patch, 4 best selling authors as coaches, a new artificial intelligence tool called Jarvis, and a community of like-minded Authors to help guide you to completion.
Jarvis is an artificial intelligence accumulation of the entire internet, combined with algorithmic logic to generate original content for writers.
With Jarvis in hand and a team of Best Selling (Human) Authors as coaches, the course Zachariah is offering, is a sledgehammer for writers block.
In the course you will be working with like minded Authors in challenging, assisting, and holding each other accountable to finally complete your book.
This course will help you smash through writer’s block with the help of AI, give you the step by step knowledge we have from years of publishing, and the accountability to finally go from blank page to published in 7 days.
Here’s what a few of the challenge graduates had to say:
“If it wasn’t for this challenge I probably would not have had a book written this year. Now, I’m going to possibly have at least three by Q2.” Cierra Leuck, Author “Not A Sales Book”
“Writing a book was always something I thought would be cool to do, but not until I was 50 or had “enough” expertise. The 7 Day Book Challenge made it doable! It was like a “rip the Band-Aid off and JUST DO IT challenge!” – Natalie Tischler, Author “The Alchemical Creative Process”
“My dad and I both published our own books today because of The 7 Day Book Challenge! How cool is that?!” – Austin Distel, Author “Subscription Secrets”
Interested in taking on the challenge to write and publish your book in a week?
Reply back with “AI” for more details
I’ll be taking part in this next challenge, too!
My last book “AXIOM” took me 2.5 years to complete, lets see what Jarvis and I could do in 7 days.
Spots are limited.
See you inside!

This tech should be illegal and it is probably the reason that my book keeps re-appearing in new forms within two years after I published it.
Yet so many groups are using the tech, it is hard to track down the source of the proliferation.

And this doesn’t even cover what Plottr is doing in terms of making it easier for authors to share stolen book, story, and character templates. If the software package plagiarizes, I think the person who published the product is still liable for the infringement.

I don’t know whether to cry or laugh at the euphemism of ‘writers block’ meaning ‘lack of talent and ability’.

It is time to realize that human authors will soon be openly competing with AI authors including named AI authors. And there is no doubt that the AI authors will be able to use modern technology to determine the best formulas for bestsellers at any time in any locale. Yikes! When does that tsunami wipe out most of the struggling human authors?

I think the tsunami has already arrived and if you notice that the quality of AI writing generally wipes out depth, nuance, and human meaning from stories, it becomes clear that this will have huge impacts on basic human intelligence and literacy. Reading these products makes people dislike reading and it makes them stupider.
Some might think that a stupid population is a good thing because it is easier to manage, but that is not the case if human intelligence is a conserved quantity. If people become stupid about literature, they might invest their mental efforts elsewhere, as in proliferation of technologies that should be contained.
I don’t want to live in that world. I like meaningful stories and haven’t been able to watch any of the crap on Netflix because it all seems recycled.
The world has changed since those storylines were created and that is why fresh stories by actual human authors are so quickly stolen and regurgitated by the AI tools ‘writers’ are using to craft these cultural products.
