@BenGalley I choose US English for an international audience because non-US people think, "Oh, it's US English," whereas if I use UK English, a lot of Americans just think I'm an idiot who can't spell.

AI will definitely write a lot of guilty pleasure books in the near future. But also good authors will become AI curators, guiding AI through the process of building the book, accepting and rejecting scenes & ideas. Like you can already do with image generation inpainting.

Even if an AI can write a book in my style that's only 80% as good as mine, it will do it 250,000x faster and for free or a tiny fraction of the price. I have to think the market will go for that trade-off
