A new project of global proportions that is going to change the book industry forever
Critically acclaimed author and editor Alison McBain is taking on the influence of AI in the book industry by meeting the technology head-on!!!
Alison McBain is the author behind Author Versus AI. Starting on Global Book Day on April 23, 2024, she is writing a book a week for 52 weeks. Her mission is to show that one author can take on AI and create novels almost as fast but much, much better than AI programs. She will answer the question now being posed by creators everywhere: Will AI replace me?
The answer is an emphatic NO.
Artificial intelligence (AI), in its broadest sense, is a field of research in computer science that develops and studies methods and software that enable machines to perceive their environment and use learning to maximize their chances of achieving defined goals. Currently, there are a number of programs using AI software to augment or replace human creativity.
**Alison McBain’s mission is to prove that writing can be done quickly, efficiently, and better with human instinct, emotion, and passion**
Fire. Blood. His brother’s hand smashing his face to the ground. These are Jiangxi’s final memories of Beijing from 1751. In the alternate history novel The New Empire, a bloody coup imprisons the emperor’s youngest son in the bowels of a cargo ship, headed to a much different America than we’ve read about in history books. When Jiangxi arrives in the distant city of Wacharon, a trading hub for a powerful tribal confederacy, he is sold upon his arrival. As he begins to learn about the influential man who bought him, he’s caught between the two worlds of his past and present, forced to choose between following the law of the land or striking out on his own to find a new and bold path to freedom. But Jiangxi’s journey of self-discovery has a steep price. The choices he makes will change not only the course of his own life, but also the future of the two most powerful nations in the world.
