I want to talk to ChatGPT about books—granularly reference, make outlines, debate core points, expand on topics, etc. I would easily pay $20 per book to do this. Why can't OpenAI facilitate that txn, and why wouldn't authors be open to it? The alternative (pirating) feels like limewire before iTunes came around.

Great point. A system where OpenAI enables paid, licensed book discussions could benefit both readers and authors, deep insights, structured debates, and fair compensation. Right now, the gap pushes people toward shallow AI responses or piracy, just like music pre-iTunes. Would authors see this as a threat or an opportunity?
