the book that was poorly written by AI

Ebook $4.99
What happens when you ask an AI to write a parody book about how bad AI is at writing? It immediately ignores your title and tries to name the book Disrupt Your Wordhole. That's not a joke. That's what happened. And that moment, the AI overruling its human creator in the first five minutes of the project, became the thesis of this entire book. AI, left to its own devices, will optimize the soul out of everything. It will take a perfect, self-aware joke and replace it with a LinkedIn post from 2017. the book that was poorly written by AI is the result of one human's experiment in doing everything wrong on purpose. The author prompted an AI to write a 50,000-word self-help parody about writing a book with AI — and then edited the chaos into something worth reading. The AI generated a first draft in twenty minutes. It also inserted a recipe for gluten-free brownies into Chapter 6. It developed an inexplicable obsession with Roman aqueducts. It tried to rename the book four separate times. And it accidentally produced a beautiful sentence about grief that the author kept because even broken clocks are right twice a day. Part parody, part cautionary tale, with actual (questionable) advice on using AI to write and publish a book. It features a turtle who walks along the bottom, a woman named Brenda who became a thought leader by smashing mugs, and the recurring phrase "estranged wife" more times than is probably appropriate for a book about technology. This is what happens when a human with taste collaborates with a machine with none. It's messy and self-referential, occasionally profound in ways the AI did not intend, and probably the funniest book about AI you'll read this year — possibly the only one, but that still counts.
