When I was younger, I had big dreams about becoming a writer. I've largely swapped out newspaper & book dreams for blogging, etc.. But there are still a lot of gaps in how I'd prefer to create and consume content online. A few ideas for AI-enabled publishing: https://hardmodefirst.xyz/a-pipe-dream-for-publishing

I spent nearly a decade in book publishing. I’ve seen tech advancements get branded an industry “killer.” First it was blogs, then ebooks, then social media. Yet the industry always survived. Your AI-powered ideas feel like the next evolution: personalizable, living texts that finally close those gaps in creation and consumption. Having lived through these panic cycles, I’m curious how the industry will embrace/hate on AI-tools and what will ultimately become accepted, especially re: reader-driven publishing.

In an industry with as much history and precedent as publishing, it can sometimes feel like fighting a brick wall to imagine any change. What brick do you think will move first?

always comes from the self-publishers and independent authors/publishers first. they're more likely to experiment. for example; 50 Shades of Gray was originally published as Edward and Bella Twilight fan fiction. A PDF was being passed around (if i rememeber correctly) and ereaders were quite popular with the indy crowd. not sure what will pop off first, but whatever it will be it will be a book, story, or author plucked from these experimental forms and brought into the trad publishing world.
