The passive voice was overused, so typical of institutional writing, representing faceless collectives behind cinder block façades and uniform resource locators. There were long sentences with predicate nominative and predicate adjective constructions unfurling with mathematical precision. The book proposal it had just created for me wasn’t great. Seconds after typing in my prompt, ChatGPT spit out its response. Since my previous books and articles are easily discoverable on the internet, ChatGPT had no trouble finding samples of my writing to emulate. The new book will be about my idea for creating a new social contract for the digital age and I asked ChatGPT to create a proposal that’s written in my style as an author. I’m sharing this with you because I’m planning to write a new book and was curious if ChatGPT could actually be a helpful tool for a, um, brilliant author like me. In the publishing industry, every book begins with a proposal.
