What is an AI-Assisted Artisan Author (A4)?
Some will choose to use AI tools in a high-production model, but that is not the only approach.
As an AI-Assisted Artisan Author, I intend to personally oversee and hand-craft my books and products while also incorporating AI writing and creativity tools into my process.
I aim to produce books of higher quality and work with the tools to go deeper into my themes and write in an ever more personal way than I have done before. As Anais Nin said, “If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it.”
Because it’s not about the production of words. It’s not about the paragraphs pouring out like rain. It’s about meaning and connection between humans.
