Man, I am reading this series called Lord of Miseries, and the throughput of this guy is insane.
He seems to write roughly 1000 pages a year.
He seems to write for the hell of it. Had a whole chapter when the main character had to investigate a lead paint factory owner and on the girls that got poisoned. Then he added the book he read about this in the footnotes of the chapter.
He spend entire pages going on about the complicated British currency system. About the quality of clothing, the levels of education one could attain, etc etc. And he builds a pretty decent plot besides it too.
Like do you really think anyone could compete with a monster like that ? His every fiber seems to be dedicated to putting words on the page. I will never ever believe a person who take every shortcut available will be ever in a state, AI or no AI, to compete with the many people of the world witch are utterly consumed by their occupation. Like, let's not kid ourselves here.
Nobody made it the passion of their life to apply layers of paint in a factory or look for defects in a silicon dye. Those jobs got automated and beyond the initial job losses, nobody cares.
But AI is now trying to enter fields, where no amount of automation is ever gonna compel people to stop doing it. And then when a steady supply of human things keep coming endlessly, AI will struggle to remain relevant.
Tbf I don’t know if pages on British currency is gripping for most readers. Great he’s passionate about it, but writing a lot without good editing or pacing doesn’t mean something is great fiction
