Wait What Really OK, OK. With your host,
Loren Weisman. This is a fully licensed
2
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:25.960
theme song for the show about stuff that
makes you say, Wait What Really OK, OK.
3
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:37.920
The state of publishing, writing, and putting out
a book to me has become terrifyingly dishonest.
4
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:45.600
And right now, in this time of dishonesty,
there are more and more companies using
5
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.960
AI models that allow for these books to be
written, as they even profess, in minutes.
6
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.920
One of the strangest issues that I notice with
it and that I have with it is how incredibly
7
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:07.280
popular these ads are on sites like Instagram,
where it's not just the ad. And, yeah, okay,
8
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.280
there's a whole bunch of fake people saying, oh,
wow, this is really neat. This is really neat.
9
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.120
But people saying, real people with real
profiles saying they're genuinely excited
10
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:22.240
about this. They've always wanted to do something
like this. They've always wanted to write a book.
11
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:25.280
But you're not writing a book.
12
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.400
You're adding in a prompt. Some of
them claim that you can set up a
13
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.920
prompt in two minutes and then have
a complete book. Some of these ads,
14
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.520
they're stating, oh, just go in here,
add this prompt. You'll have this.
15
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.560
You'll be able to upload it. You'll
be able to go out with your friends
16
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.000
and have lunch. And now you're
an author. I find that pathetic.
17
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.520
I find it to be dishonest. And as someone
that I would consider myself a real author,
18
00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.720
it makes me not want to tell anyone I'm
an author anymore. For all these people
19
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:03.680
that are out there saying, oh, you'll
be able to tell people you're an author,
20
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.920
would you. Would you be that honest with it?
Would you share with someone exactly how you
21
00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:17.360
wrote your book? Would you put on the front
and the back a little note stating below the.
22
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.800
By your name that I did a prompt, I filled
out a couple questions, I added this part,
23
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:34.800
and then AI wrote it for me. Most people, probably
not, and yet so many are out there doing it. I've
24
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.640
authored three books of my own. I've helped from
a messaging standpoint on a series of other books.
25
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:44.960
It's a long process, and people saying, it
doesn't have to be that long. It can be done
26
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.160
in minutes. I was proud of my third book, which I
knocked out in just a little shy of four months,
27
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:59.280
that also included, on average, four to
five hours of writing on a given day,
28
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:06.960
five days a week, as well as going back and forth
with the editor and the proofreader and legal and
29
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:13.520
all that stuff and not saying that Other people
shouldn't be involved in a book. You should.
30
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.680
And it's not saying that AI can't
be involved in a book. It can be.
31
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.760
You could give certain stuff to
A.I. for a developmental edit.
32
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:27.920
If you're being honorable, that
is, you could give stuff to A.I.
33
00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:33.920
for the grammatical. You could use some
of these A.I. systems for proofreading.
34
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.160
You could use some of these AI systems for
legal aspects of compliance. You could use
35
00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:47.440
AI in a series of ways. That doesn't take away
from the validity if you actually wrote the book.
36
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:54.400
And yet this is being bypassed now
inside of algorithmic learning,
37
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.280
it's not necessarily artificial
intelligence, but algorithmic learning.
38
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.720
For you to put in such a simplified pattern
or answer just a couple simple questions,
39
00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:11.440
and then all of a sudden you have a book. How
does the copyright work on that? You know,
40
00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:16.720
are you sharing? Are you honestly sharing
a copyright? Would you to state, okay,
41
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.840
well, you know, I wrote this with this given
site or this given model. I mean, the same
42
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.520
thing could be said for these courses, too,
these fake courses where it's fill in, oh, this
43
00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:34.720
stuff is easy. It's 10 minutes of filling these
things in, and a course will be created for you.
44
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:44.160
What a deceiving ripoff. If you can fill out
something for five to 10 minutes and that in turn
45
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:52.080
gives you a course that makes you look like an
expert that you're selling. I question your honor,
46
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.880
I question your morals, I question your
professionalism, and I question you as
47
00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:04.880
an individual. And it's so sad that there are
so many companies that are looking for people,
48
00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:12.080
questionable people that will simply use
their little model, flip this thing through.
49
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:17.360
And in a sense, they're looking for liars.
They're looking for people that are happy
50
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.400
to deceive. They're looking for people
that will use their information. Oh,
51
00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:24.560
they'll scrape pieces from here and from there
and maybe even from a couple of these courses.
52
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.840
Maybe you do learn a thing or two. But
would you share that with your students?
53
00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.600
So for your little. My $99 course,
my $499 course, my. My, that course.
54
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.760
Oh, and all the marketing with it, would you
put right on that front page in that scroll
55
00:05:39.760 --> 00:05:45.360
down section and your special. And your
discount, would you list. These were the
56
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.680
questions I was asked, this is what was
prompt, and then it was returned to me,
57
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.840
and I packaged it, marketed it, and I'm
selling it to you now. For those that,
58
00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:02.720
that have no problem with that, who am I to judge?
I have my feelings, I have my opinions on it.
59
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.440
But to those out there looking for genuine
authority, for those out there that are
60
00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:15.120
looking for genuine education, for those out
there that are looking for real intelligence,
61
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.640
it's time to dig a little bit deeper
and watch out from what you're being
62
00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:25.680
presented and from what's being presented
to you and even those that have authority.
63
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.120
There was one particular lawyer that had a.
He had a book and a course. And this guy,
64
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:40.800
I believe in some of what I heard from him, he
definitely knew his stuff inside of family law.
65
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.480
But what he didn't realize, or it seems he
didn't realize, was that he used one of these
66
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:53.200
little course creators and it took away his
authority and it turned it into fluff. And
67
00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:57.120
because it was probably a five minute prompt,
it put a whole bunch of stuff in there that
68
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.440
did not show the efforts to write a book
means or used to mean you wrote it. Yes,
69
00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:08.720
you would have editors. Yes, you would
have, you know, people to proofread.
70
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.520
You'd have technical editors, you'd even
have developmental editors. My second book,
71
00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:20.800
there was an entire team at that publishing
house to help make that book what it was. But
72
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:28.240
the voice, the narrative, the message, the
experience, the authenticity, the wisdom,
73
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.800
the intelligence that came from me. And
it was heartbreaking to write that book.
74
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:40.720
It took a very long time. It was better
part of. I say it was a better part of
75
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.720
12 and a half months of writing. And
then we went into the editing phases.
76
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.520
Things had to get moved around.
It was. There was a lot there. I
77
00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:56.800
wrote 1200 pages that got, you
know, shrunken down into 478.
78
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:03.440
And I needed help with that. And I had. There
was an amazing, amazing guy. I still just, I.
79
00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:09.920
He took the time to read every single one
of those pages. And it wasn't the cheapest.
80
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.320
It wasn't the cheapest situation,
because that's time. It wasn't just AI,
81
00:08:16.320 --> 00:08:18.880
but these days, like, you know,
so there's certain people saying,
82
00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:21.840
why don't you share? Why don't you lead
a little bit more that you're the author
83
00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:29.520
of these books? Because the term author to me
has lost so much of its validity and authority.
84
00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:33.360
It's been dropped back. Because these people
are calling themselves authors that are
85
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:40.000
actually liars. They are prompters.
They've prompted the idea of a book.
86
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.600
They've used an AI system that can then from
that prompt generate stuff. And from that
87
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.000
prompt you can state, who are you aiming
for? And now it's generating content that
88
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.560
does not come from this individual. Oh,
great. Maybe you even say, okay, well,
89
00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:59.440
I want your prompt and pull from a Whole bunch of
my blogs on my website and blogs that you wrote.
90
00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:05.680
So it's pulling certain information, but
it's still this, this initial process,
91
00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:13.920
the, the majority of the process is a
lie. And that to me is so unfortunate.
92
00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:17.120
I don't understand and I mean, I guess
I don't understand with a lot of the
93
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:22.000
AI and I don't understand how not only
cheating, which at one point it was,
94
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.880
let's do it really quietly, has now turned
into a thing where people are advertising
95
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:33.840
how you can cheat. They're advertising
here, here's the ways that you can do it.
96
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:40.160
All you have to, all you have to do is this. You
will appear as an authority. And I kind of like
97
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:45.120
that whole appear as an authority because in a
way there's a little honesty in the middle of
98
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:49.760
this because you're not an authority, you're
not an author if this is the system you're
99
00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:56.480
using. And I think that if you're using these
kind of systems, it reduces your authority.
100
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:03.840
Be true to you and look a little bit deeper. Look,
you know, when you, when you see a book, if you're
101
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.200
not 100% sure about it, is all of a sudden this
person, they were just doing this and doing that
102
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.680
or they were this kind of. Because I know this
is very popular with that life coaching and the
103
00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:19.440
business consultants, oh, they've regurgitated so
much crowd and there are many that have written
104
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:27.120
books and they regurgitated it too. But search
some of these chapter names, search the title,
105
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:33.280
search the opening, the closing, see if that
tone, see if it's showing up anywhere else.
106
00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:36.400
Look at, I mean, you know, some of these people
now and they're stating, oh, you could put out a
107
00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:43.280
book a week. Nobody writes a book a week. And even
some of these larger scale authors, even some of
108
00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:51.360
the, you know, the romance authors of the, you
know, when it was that supermarket buy the book,
109
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.760
some of these people had their ghost writers, had
their writing team. It was almost like the early
110
00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:04.240
stages of AI but it was with real people where
it's okay, you're going to scope out the concept,
111
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:09.760
you're going to hand it to some other people,
let them develop it, let them add to it.
112
00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:15.280
It wasn't really a developmental edit, it was
really having a series of co writers and then
113
00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:19.840
bringing it back to the author. And the author had
paid these other people and they zapped their name
114
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:26.640
on it. The other one I can't stand it doesn't
seem to be quite as popular these days. And I
115
00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:30.720
think the lack of the popularity Is because now
you have the ability to make it all your own.
116
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:37.360
Is that book of 20 different authors on
something which is somebody who's trying
117
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.560
to make a buck and say, oh, I'm going
to promote you. It's going to give you
118
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:45.440
a great promotion. Write this little
section here. I had people coming to
119
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.000
me with some business books where
they're like, write this section.
120
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.200
Here's what you pay me, and I'll put
this in the book. And it's going to
121
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.120
do great for your business. And I would
say, I don't want to be associated with
122
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.240
some of these people you're talking
to. Oh, no, these are big names.
123
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.240
I'm like, yeah, they're frauds. Some
of them are frauds. Some of them are
124
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.760
hype machines. Some of them don't
know what they're talking about.
125
00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:10.000
And yet you're claiming it's this
authorship of all these people together. No,
126
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:17.280
it's a product. Is it a product that you want
to create to try to hype yourself? And if so,
127
00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:24.800
if a book is not in, you don't write a book. If
a course is not in, you don't create a course.
128
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:31.680
I don't care. If you need money and you can't
organize your content, your expertise to be
129
00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:37.200
amplified in the best way possible for you,
that you need to lie, cheat and steal, then it's
130
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.320
time to get another job. Or I guess with some of
these people, it's fine. Just do what you'll do.
131
00:12:45.280 --> 00:12:52.400
Think with a foundational transparency
realize. And even with these AI things
132
00:12:52.400 --> 00:13:00.320
that they're telling kids to use in college,
use this. It'll hide the AI writing we've
133
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.720
come into this time on these sites like
Instagram and these product models and
134
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.640
these business models of here's how you
cheat. Here's how you don't get caught.
135
00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:12.080
Here's how you create something amazing.
Here's how you become an author.
136
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.360
The last time I checked, becoming an
author does not consist of creating a
137
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:22.800
prompt and trying to sell people bs.
And again, the option is there yet.
138
00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:27.920
Just because something is available doesn't
mean you should do it. Just because a whole
139
00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:32.800
bunch of other people you know that are doing it
doesn't mean you should do it. And maybe you can
140
00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:46.080
take some pride and maybe you can take just some,
some foundational, ethical, moral, just honesty
141
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:53.120
and be able to fire back and say, here's how I
used AI. I used it for this part of the editing.
142
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:59.200
Here's how long it took me to write it. Here's
how much I wrote here's where I got my help. I
143
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:05.920
create. The bulk of my stuff that I'm putting
out these days is more so videos and podcasts.
144
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:11.520
I create a couple one minutes, three
days a week. The other two days a week,
145
00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:16.400
I create the fuller length, but
they usually stand at between 3, 4,
146
00:14:16.400 --> 00:14:23.680
5 minutes max. I create those ideas. I'm not
going to use some kind of trending software.
147
00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:29.760
I'm not using a script thing from AI. These
are my thoughts from my experiences. Now,
148
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:35.360
once that video is done, I bring it into
sites like Submagic and it automatically,
149
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:44.560
with AI, creates the video, the captions.
I also am a fan, a partial fan of Vidiq.
150
00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:48.480
Not for it to sit here and tell me this
is what I have to film and this is what
151
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:54.320
I should film. And here's the latest trend.
So just hop on this train. No, I like that.
152
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:03.680
I can upload to. I can upload to Vidiq a
video I can upload. I can also add in and say,
153
00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:09.520
okay, here's. Here's the captions, here's the
script, here's the point of what I'm going for.
154
00:15:09.520 --> 00:15:14.000
What would be some good keywords to add to
that and add to the description? It's the
155
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.200
same thing with descriptions. I create my videos.
156
00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:23.920
I will say, okay, I have just created
a video. This is what the video is.
157
00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:30.800
This is the title of the video. Here is, Here is
the. The transcription from the video. I'm looking
158
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:37.120
for a couple keyword phrases that would be strong
from what's been created to amplify the marketing.
159
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.480
And that feels completely moral
and ethical and transparent to
160
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.080
me. I'm happy to share that with
the world. While it's strange that
161
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.480
some people from the faceless YouTube
channels to others that will go, okay,
162
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.320
what's trending? What's hot? What do I need?
Oh, gosh, I gotta write a script. Not anymore.
163
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:57.920
You can click on it and Vidiq will do it, and some
of these other ones will do it for you. That's not
164
00:15:57.920 --> 00:16:10.960
honest. Using AI as an editing tool, using AI to
bring, to enhance or assist on authority, I find
165
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:18.320
to be a moral, ethical thing. And it's something
that I have no problem sharing how I use it.
166
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.800
To these people that choose to hide that,
to these people that choose to deceive,
167
00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:28.080
to these people that use it so that it completely
creates their content, all their authority,
168
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:32.320
all their knowledge, because it's built from
somewhere else. That to me, is dangerous.
169
00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:36.560
And that to me, it makes me wonder, you know,
170
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:42.000
for the people that are looking into it. What
is it? Not only are they scamming, but they're.
171
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:49.760
They're holding themselves with no liability
to anybody, no accountability. So if you start
172
00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:55.680
seeing somebody that just pops up out of nowhere,
watch for some of the signs. Do you notice that
173
00:16:55.680 --> 00:17:01.040
for all of a sudden they didn't seem to have
much going on? They had a couple blogs here,
174
00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:06.400
they had a couple posts here with social media,
and then all of a sudden they're drenched
175
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.760
in social media. They have all these blogs
coming out day after day after day after day.
176
00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:18.320
And many posts in a given day that might
be AI, it might not be them. Do they all
177
00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:22.560
of a sudden have they gone from never writing a
book to all of a sudden they have five books in
178
00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:27.200
a series of months to all of a sudden having
these courses that just seem to have come out
179
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:34.320
of nowhere? Might be. Again, might be AI? Yes.
There are people that are working and they're
180
00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:38.960
putting together and they're prepping certain
stuff for a given launch, and that's one thing.
181
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:45.600
But when all of a sudden the content, the courses,
a series of books, a whole bunch of stuff seems to
182
00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:49.280
all of a sudden come into play, that might
have been the time when they signed up for
183
00:17:49.280 --> 00:17:55.600
their little subscription, they paid their little
fees, and they're in full exploiting mode of you
184
00:17:55.600 --> 00:18:04.000
don't get caught in trying to buy into the hype.
That is not true. And even inside of some of this,
185
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:10.960
you may notice, see if you can get something
where you can test out and read through it.
186
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.800
Does it look like it's just a call to action?
There's one individual I worked on with a book
187
00:18:16.800 --> 00:18:23.600
and I stepped away from working with him because
at first it was truly a stewarding, gifting,
188
00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:30.080
intelligent book from an amazing individual
that had great knowledge and great experience.
189
00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:35.200
But then he turned it into a call to action.
Everything was a call to action about that
190
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.440
book. And it's not saying that a book can't
promote your authority, but I don't believe
191
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:45.600
a book should create your authority. And I don't
believe that a book needs to be a call to action.
192
00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:48.800
From that book, if someone gets
a good enough sense, wow, well,
193
00:18:48.800 --> 00:18:52.880
this is who he is. This is how he does it. These
are his experiences. This is a sense of him.
194
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.760
Okay, great. But if in a chapter three
different times to learn more. Oh,
195
00:18:57.760 --> 00:19:00.480
to learn this. Oh, to get this,
you just got to work with me.
196
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:05.920
Oh, you just sign up here. Oh, just,
oh, pay me this then. It's not a book,
197
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.400
it's an ad pamphlet in My opinion and for you,
198
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.720
for the individuals that see these
things, yes, I get it. It can be enticing.
199
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.760
It's kind of like, you know, sugar candy of
like, I've always wanted to have a book. This
200
00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:27.280
scam site says I can have a book. I think
deep down most people know that, wait,
201
00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:33.040
I'm going to be an author in two minutes. They
know that there's something wrong with that.
202
00:19:33.040 --> 00:19:39.120
Go with your gut, think about it, pray
on it. Stand on a foundation of truth
203
00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:44.400
and transparency. Because as you build,
as AI gets smarter, AI is also beginning
204
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:50.000
identify more and more the fakes. And for people
saying, oh, well, we're able to hide this AI.
205
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:56.240
We're able to hide the AI writing, more themes,
more patterns are showing up, more is coming
206
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:04.560
out. Are you prepared in your business, with your
product, with your service, are you prepared to
207
00:20:04.560 --> 00:20:11.360
go truly transparent for who you are, for what you
know, for where you learned it, for the knowledge,
208
00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:20.720
the wisdom, the discernment that you've grown?
Does it prove out or did it magically appear
209
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:28.000
overnight because of an AI system? Did you hire
some kind of marketing AI thing to give off the
210
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:33.680
appearance, or did you genuinely go and learn
these things? It's even awful. You know, some of
211
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.920
these colleges, you don't need to go this long.
You don't need this long to get this master's.
212
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:44.000
How do you know this individual might need
that? It's looking in and it's vetting
213
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:50.240
and it's digging deeper and it's choosing
the path that you want to go. In the end,
214
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:58.000
it is your choice. There are more options
now than ever to lie, to deceive, to cheat,
215
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:05.040
to steal, to rip off, to appear as something
that you are absolutely not. But there's also,
216
00:21:05.040 --> 00:21:07.920
in the middle of this honesty, there's integrity.
217
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:13.920
There's the ability to stand out and shine
like a bright, beautiful light of truth,
218
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.480
of love and of transparency, of being
able to share transparency. Hey,
219
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:23.760
this. You know what? I did use AI, but I used
it this way. Here's what I did to create this.
220
00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:26.560
Here's how long it took me to write the book.
221
00:21:26.560 --> 00:21:33.120
Here's how I wrote it. Talk about those
things. Showcase so that you can share.
222
00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:37.440
If you're going the moral route, if
you're going the transparent route,
223
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:45.920
so you can be seen differently in a sea of
fakes, in how you stand and how you wrote,
224
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:52.800
in where the book came from, in where the
experiences happen, in how you put this together,
225
00:21:52.800 --> 00:21:56.800
having that little story that may end up being
a series of videos, it may End up being a series
226
00:21:56.800 --> 00:22:04.320
of blogs, a post of pictures of the process, of
the time, track it. When did you first sit down
227
00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:11.680
and start writing? When did you. When did
you stop? I. I've been writing something.
228
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.840
It's a. It looks like it may
be another book for me. It
229
00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:17.840
started off not intentionally at first. It was.
230
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:22.000
I'm just going to get this out to now
becoming something that goes like, okay,
231
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.480
this, this may be a book. This may be
a book for a side of the story that I
232
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:34.400
feel I want to have seen. And I've gotten
to the point where it was started in June
233
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:41.520
and the last I wrote the opener and the closer,
I guess you could call it opening and closing
234
00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:49.360
thoughts for the whole thing this morning and
in that may be my next book. I'm not sure yet,
235
00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:54.880
but I can state, here's what I did, here's how I
worked on it, here's how I created it, here's how.
236
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.880
Here's the process, here's the dates, here's
the timeline. I'm going that extra distance
237
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:07.840
right now to showcase this came from me and
did not come from a prompt or an AI system or
238
00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:15.440
some cheap software thing. That this is me. And
that's where I want to leave you with this one.
239
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:20.480
Be you if you're going to be honorable, if
you're going to show that integrity to stand
240
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:28.880
out against this sea of lies, of deception,
thievery, false fronts and fake people and
241
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:36.960
even those with some authority but trying to
shortcut, share how you didn't. A great deal
242
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:42.640
of your marketing and your message and part
of that narrative can be shown in how you
243
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:51.200
did it to prove that you did it and in that how
much better would it feel to be able to say no,
244
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:57.520
you know, oh, this guy's an author and this
guy's. Are they. I can't say if they are.
245
00:23:57.520 --> 00:24:01.520
I can't say if they're not. But
I can tell you this is the blood,
246
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:07.200
sweat, tears and time that I put in.
And with anything that's worth anything,
247
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:14.080
it is blood, sweat, tears and time. And
while they claim and many of these fake
248
00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:19.440
false flag companies and scam artists,
oh, you just do this in two minutes.
249
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.600
Somewhere deep down, I believe everyone
knows it's fake, it's wrong, it's untrue,
250
00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:30.960
and it's a way to make a quick buck.
And I'd like to see, I'd like to see,
251
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:35.200
you know, accountability on that. I like
to see that if you had to use those things
252
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:39.840
that you would not be allowed a copyright
or it would have to be stated somewhere
253
00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:46.240
in the book what this was and how it was
created. That's not coming anytime soon.
254
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:52.800
But at the same time, for you to counter and
be able to tell the truth of your process,
255
00:24:52.800 --> 00:25:00.640
your system, how you came to get from point A to
point B and the details in there, then in that
256
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:07.200
transparency, you're blowing the others out of
the water and you're showcasing the truth of you,
257
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:14.560
the truth of a book, of where you stand, of
what you have for experiences and, and what
258
00:25:14.560 --> 00:25:23.280
you are capable of over so many others that
have so little capability to do anything that
259
00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:31.520
they're looking for any way to appear as something
they're not. And they don't care how it could come
260
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:35.200
off. If they're lying, if they're deceiving,
if they're cheating, as long as they can make
261
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:42.800
that quick buck and hold no accountability in
the moment, they're thrilled. Shame on them.
262
00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:48.560
And instead of being like them, consider
standing in honor and transparency as you
263
00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:54.560
be true. Be true to you. Be true to the
audience that you may want to build or
264
00:25:54.560 --> 00:26:00.000
that you're trying to build. I believe
it makes all the difference in the world
265
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:06.480
and really highlights who you are as a
person and who you would share that with.
266
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:12.240
I mean, the last thing I'll say, would you tell
a daughter or a son, this is how you created a
267
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:18.400
book. Would you tell a family member? Would
you tell somebody that you look up to. This
268
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.360
is what you did and this is the process that
you did. And if you don't feel comfortable or
269
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:32.480
there's something tugging or nagging, then why
do that to the public at large? Honor yourself.
270
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:38.640
Be true, be transparent, be professional.
Even in a world where everyone is saying
271
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:43.952
you don't have to and you can go
the other way, take that route that
272
00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:48.960
a little less people are going through, go
through that gate that's a little skinnier
273
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.840
than the other one. It's something that
may allow you to be a little bit more
274
00:26:53.840 --> 00:27:01.840
proud of the achievement of what you create
and how you created it. So that's about it.
275
00:27:01.840 --> 00:27:09.200
That's my rant on this one. Maybe a little more
emotional than it needs to be, but that's where
276
00:27:09.200 --> 00:27:16.560
I stand on this. This new practice of the.
The two minute prompted book and the type
277
00:27:16.560 --> 00:27:22.480
of people and the choices that people are
making right now to appear as so much more,
278
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:28.240
while in a sense it only amplifies
how much less they are as a person.
279
00:27:28.240 --> 00:27:32.480
Wait What Really OK, OK.
1
00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:09.840
Wait What Really OK, OK. With your host,
Loren Weisman. This is a fully licensed
2
00:00:09.840 --> 00:00:25.960
theme song for the show about stuff that
makes you say, Wait What Really OK, OK.
3
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:37.920
The state of publishing, writing, and putting out
a book to me has become terrifyingly dishonest.
4
00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:45.600
And right now, in this time of dishonesty,
there are more and more companies using
5
00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:52.960
AI models that allow for these books to be
written, as they even profess, in minutes.
6
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:59.920
One of the strangest issues that I notice with
it and that I have with it is how incredibly
7
00:00:59.920 --> 00:01:07.280
popular these ads are on sites like Instagram,
where it's not just the ad. And, yeah, okay,
8
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:11.280
there's a whole bunch of fake people saying, oh,
wow, this is really neat. This is really neat.
9
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:17.120
But people saying, real people with real
profiles saying they're genuinely excited
10
00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:22.240
about this. They've always wanted to do something
like this. They've always wanted to write a book.
11
00:01:22.960 --> 00:01:25.280
But you're not writing a book.
12
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:28.400
You're adding in a prompt. Some of
them claim that you can set up a
13
00:01:28.400 --> 00:01:33.920
prompt in two minutes and then have
a complete book. Some of these ads,
14
00:01:33.920 --> 00:01:37.520
they're stating, oh, just go in here,
add this prompt. You'll have this.
15
00:01:37.520 --> 00:01:40.560
You'll be able to upload it. You'll
be able to go out with your friends
16
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:46.000
and have lunch. And now you're
an author. I find that pathetic.
17
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:53.520
I find it to be dishonest. And as someone
that I would consider myself a real author,
18
00:01:53.520 --> 00:01:58.720
it makes me not want to tell anyone I'm
an author anymore. For all these people
19
00:01:58.720 --> 00:02:03.680
that are out there saying, oh, you'll
be able to tell people you're an author,
20
00:02:03.680 --> 00:02:09.920
would you. Would you be that honest with it?
Would you share with someone exactly how you
21
00:02:09.920 --> 00:02:17.360
wrote your book? Would you put on the front
and the back a little note stating below the.
22
00:02:17.360 --> 00:02:24.800
By your name that I did a prompt, I filled
out a couple questions, I added this part,
23
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:34.800
and then AI wrote it for me. Most people, probably
not, and yet so many are out there doing it. I've
24
00:02:34.800 --> 00:02:40.640
authored three books of my own. I've helped from
a messaging standpoint on a series of other books.
25
00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:44.960
It's a long process, and people saying, it
doesn't have to be that long. It can be done
26
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:52.160
in minutes. I was proud of my third book, which I
knocked out in just a little shy of four months,
27
00:02:52.160 --> 00:02:59.280
that also included, on average, four to
five hours of writing on a given day,
28
00:02:59.280 --> 00:03:06.960
five days a week, as well as going back and forth
with the editor and the proofreader and legal and
29
00:03:06.960 --> 00:03:13.520
all that stuff and not saying that Other people
shouldn't be involved in a book. You should.
30
00:03:13.520 --> 00:03:19.680
And it's not saying that AI can't
be involved in a book. It can be.
31
00:03:19.680 --> 00:03:23.760
You could give certain stuff to
A.I. for a developmental edit.
32
00:03:23.760 --> 00:03:27.920
If you're being honorable, that
is, you could give stuff to A.I.
33
00:03:27.920 --> 00:03:33.920
for the grammatical. You could use some
of these A.I. systems for proofreading.
34
00:03:33.920 --> 00:03:40.160
You could use some of these AI systems for
legal aspects of compliance. You could use
35
00:03:40.160 --> 00:03:47.440
AI in a series of ways. That doesn't take away
from the validity if you actually wrote the book.
36
00:03:47.440 --> 00:03:54.400
And yet this is being bypassed now
inside of algorithmic learning,
37
00:03:54.400 --> 00:03:59.280
it's not necessarily artificial
intelligence, but algorithmic learning.
38
00:03:59.280 --> 00:04:04.720
For you to put in such a simplified pattern
or answer just a couple simple questions,
39
00:04:04.720 --> 00:04:11.440
and then all of a sudden you have a book. How
does the copyright work on that? You know,
40
00:04:11.440 --> 00:04:16.720
are you sharing? Are you honestly sharing
a copyright? Would you to state, okay,
41
00:04:16.720 --> 00:04:21.840
well, you know, I wrote this with this given
site or this given model. I mean, the same
42
00:04:21.840 --> 00:04:27.520
thing could be said for these courses, too,
these fake courses where it's fill in, oh, this
43
00:04:27.520 --> 00:04:34.720
stuff is easy. It's 10 minutes of filling these
things in, and a course will be created for you.
44
00:04:34.720 --> 00:04:44.160
What a deceiving ripoff. If you can fill out
something for five to 10 minutes and that in turn
45
00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:52.080
gives you a course that makes you look like an
expert that you're selling. I question your honor,
46
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.880
I question your morals, I question your
professionalism, and I question you as
47
00:04:56.880 --> 00:05:04.880
an individual. And it's so sad that there are
so many companies that are looking for people,
48
00:05:04.880 --> 00:05:12.080
questionable people that will simply use
their little model, flip this thing through.
49
00:05:12.080 --> 00:05:17.360
And in a sense, they're looking for liars.
They're looking for people that are happy
50
00:05:17.360 --> 00:05:20.400
to deceive. They're looking for people
that will use their information. Oh,
51
00:05:20.400 --> 00:05:24.560
they'll scrape pieces from here and from there
and maybe even from a couple of these courses.
52
00:05:24.560 --> 00:05:29.840
Maybe you do learn a thing or two. But
would you share that with your students?
53
00:05:29.840 --> 00:05:35.600
So for your little. My $99 course,
my $499 course, my. My, that course.
54
00:05:35.600 --> 00:05:39.760
Oh, and all the marketing with it, would you
put right on that front page in that scroll
55
00:05:39.760 --> 00:05:45.360
down section and your special. And your
discount, would you list. These were the
56
00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:49.680
questions I was asked, this is what was
prompt, and then it was returned to me,
57
00:05:49.680 --> 00:05:55.840
and I packaged it, marketed it, and I'm
selling it to you now. For those that,
58
00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:02.720
that have no problem with that, who am I to judge?
I have my feelings, I have my opinions on it.
59
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.440
But to those out there looking for genuine
authority, for those out there that are
60
00:06:09.440 --> 00:06:15.120
looking for genuine education, for those out
there that are looking for real intelligence,
61
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:18.640
it's time to dig a little bit deeper
and watch out from what you're being
62
00:06:18.640 --> 00:06:25.680
presented and from what's being presented
to you and even those that have authority.
63
00:06:25.680 --> 00:06:31.120
There was one particular lawyer that had a.
He had a book and a course. And this guy,
64
00:06:31.120 --> 00:06:40.800
I believe in some of what I heard from him, he
definitely knew his stuff inside of family law.
65
00:06:40.800 --> 00:06:46.480
But what he didn't realize, or it seems he
didn't realize, was that he used one of these
66
00:06:46.480 --> 00:06:53.200
little course creators and it took away his
authority and it turned it into fluff. And
67
00:06:53.200 --> 00:06:57.120
because it was probably a five minute prompt,
it put a whole bunch of stuff in there that
68
00:06:57.120 --> 00:07:03.440
did not show the efforts to write a book
means or used to mean you wrote it. Yes,
69
00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:08.720
you would have editors. Yes, you would
have, you know, people to proofread.
70
00:07:08.720 --> 00:07:13.520
You'd have technical editors, you'd even
have developmental editors. My second book,
71
00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:20.800
there was an entire team at that publishing
house to help make that book what it was. But
72
00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:28.240
the voice, the narrative, the message, the
experience, the authenticity, the wisdom,
73
00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:32.800
the intelligence that came from me. And
it was heartbreaking to write that book.
74
00:07:32.800 --> 00:07:40.720
It took a very long time. It was better
part of. I say it was a better part of
75
00:07:40.720 --> 00:07:46.720
12 and a half months of writing. And
then we went into the editing phases.
76
00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:49.520
Things had to get moved around.
It was. There was a lot there. I
77
00:07:49.520 --> 00:07:56.800
wrote 1200 pages that got, you
know, shrunken down into 478.
78
00:07:56.800 --> 00:08:03.440
And I needed help with that. And I had. There
was an amazing, amazing guy. I still just, I.
79
00:08:03.440 --> 00:08:09.920
He took the time to read every single one
of those pages. And it wasn't the cheapest.
80
00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:16.320
It wasn't the cheapest situation,
because that's time. It wasn't just AI,
81
00:08:16.320 --> 00:08:18.880
but these days, like, you know,
so there's certain people saying,
82
00:08:18.880 --> 00:08:21.840
why don't you share? Why don't you lead
a little bit more that you're the author
83
00:08:21.840 --> 00:08:29.520
of these books? Because the term author to me
has lost so much of its validity and authority.
84
00:08:29.520 --> 00:08:33.360
It's been dropped back. Because these people
are calling themselves authors that are
85
00:08:33.360 --> 00:08:40.000
actually liars. They are prompters.
They've prompted the idea of a book.
86
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:45.600
They've used an AI system that can then from
that prompt generate stuff. And from that
87
00:08:45.600 --> 00:08:50.000
prompt you can state, who are you aiming
for? And now it's generating content that
88
00:08:50.000 --> 00:08:54.560
does not come from this individual. Oh,
great. Maybe you even say, okay, well,
89
00:08:54.560 --> 00:08:59.440
I want your prompt and pull from a Whole bunch of
my blogs on my website and blogs that you wrote.
90
00:09:00.160 --> 00:09:05.680
So it's pulling certain information, but
it's still this, this initial process,
91
00:09:05.680 --> 00:09:13.920
the, the majority of the process is a
lie. And that to me is so unfortunate.
92
00:09:13.920 --> 00:09:17.120
I don't understand and I mean, I guess
I don't understand with a lot of the
93
00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:22.000
AI and I don't understand how not only
cheating, which at one point it was,
94
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.880
let's do it really quietly, has now turned
into a thing where people are advertising
95
00:09:26.880 --> 00:09:33.840
how you can cheat. They're advertising
here, here's the ways that you can do it.
96
00:09:33.840 --> 00:09:40.160
All you have to, all you have to do is this. You
will appear as an authority. And I kind of like
97
00:09:40.160 --> 00:09:45.120
that whole appear as an authority because in a
way there's a little honesty in the middle of
98
00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:49.760
this because you're not an authority, you're
not an author if this is the system you're
99
00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:56.480
using. And I think that if you're using these
kind of systems, it reduces your authority.
100
00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:03.840
Be true to you and look a little bit deeper. Look,
you know, when you, when you see a book, if you're
101
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:09.200
not 100% sure about it, is all of a sudden this
person, they were just doing this and doing that
102
00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:13.680
or they were this kind of. Because I know this
is very popular with that life coaching and the
103
00:10:13.680 --> 00:10:19.440
business consultants, oh, they've regurgitated so
much crowd and there are many that have written
104
00:10:19.440 --> 00:10:27.120
books and they regurgitated it too. But search
some of these chapter names, search the title,
105
00:10:27.120 --> 00:10:33.280
search the opening, the closing, see if that
tone, see if it's showing up anywhere else.
106
00:10:33.280 --> 00:10:36.400
Look at, I mean, you know, some of these people
now and they're stating, oh, you could put out a
107
00:10:36.400 --> 00:10:43.280
book a week. Nobody writes a book a week. And even
some of these larger scale authors, even some of
108
00:10:43.280 --> 00:10:51.360
the, you know, the romance authors of the, you
know, when it was that supermarket buy the book,
109
00:10:51.360 --> 00:10:57.760
some of these people had their ghost writers, had
their writing team. It was almost like the early
110
00:10:57.760 --> 00:11:04.240
stages of AI but it was with real people where
it's okay, you're going to scope out the concept,
111
00:11:04.240 --> 00:11:09.760
you're going to hand it to some other people,
let them develop it, let them add to it.
112
00:11:09.760 --> 00:11:15.280
It wasn't really a developmental edit, it was
really having a series of co writers and then
113
00:11:15.280 --> 00:11:19.840
bringing it back to the author. And the author had
paid these other people and they zapped their name
114
00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:26.640
on it. The other one I can't stand it doesn't
seem to be quite as popular these days. And I
115
00:11:26.640 --> 00:11:30.720
think the lack of the popularity Is because now
you have the ability to make it all your own.
116
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:37.360
Is that book of 20 different authors on
something which is somebody who's trying
117
00:11:37.360 --> 00:11:40.560
to make a buck and say, oh, I'm going
to promote you. It's going to give you
118
00:11:40.560 --> 00:11:45.440
a great promotion. Write this little
section here. I had people coming to
119
00:11:45.440 --> 00:11:48.000
me with some business books where
they're like, write this section.
120
00:11:48.000 --> 00:11:51.200
Here's what you pay me, and I'll put
this in the book. And it's going to
121
00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:55.120
do great for your business. And I would
say, I don't want to be associated with
122
00:11:55.120 --> 00:11:58.240
some of these people you're talking
to. Oh, no, these are big names.
123
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.240
I'm like, yeah, they're frauds. Some
of them are frauds. Some of them are
124
00:12:02.240 --> 00:12:05.760
hype machines. Some of them don't
know what they're talking about.
125
00:12:05.760 --> 00:12:10.000
And yet you're claiming it's this
authorship of all these people together. No,
126
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:17.280
it's a product. Is it a product that you want
to create to try to hype yourself? And if so,
127
00:12:17.280 --> 00:12:24.800
if a book is not in, you don't write a book. If
a course is not in, you don't create a course.
128
00:12:24.800 --> 00:12:31.680
I don't care. If you need money and you can't
organize your content, your expertise to be
129
00:12:31.680 --> 00:12:37.200
amplified in the best way possible for you,
that you need to lie, cheat and steal, then it's
130
00:12:37.200 --> 00:12:42.320
time to get another job. Or I guess with some of
these people, it's fine. Just do what you'll do.
131
00:12:45.280 --> 00:12:52.400
Think with a foundational transparency
realize. And even with these AI things
132
00:12:52.400 --> 00:13:00.320
that they're telling kids to use in college,
use this. It'll hide the AI writing we've
133
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:04.720
come into this time on these sites like
Instagram and these product models and
134
00:13:04.720 --> 00:13:08.640
these business models of here's how you
cheat. Here's how you don't get caught.
135
00:13:08.640 --> 00:13:12.080
Here's how you create something amazing.
Here's how you become an author.
136
00:13:12.080 --> 00:13:15.360
The last time I checked, becoming an
author does not consist of creating a
137
00:13:15.360 --> 00:13:22.800
prompt and trying to sell people bs.
And again, the option is there yet.
138
00:13:22.800 --> 00:13:27.920
Just because something is available doesn't
mean you should do it. Just because a whole
139
00:13:27.920 --> 00:13:32.800
bunch of other people you know that are doing it
doesn't mean you should do it. And maybe you can
140
00:13:32.800 --> 00:13:46.080
take some pride and maybe you can take just some,
some foundational, ethical, moral, just honesty
141
00:13:46.080 --> 00:13:53.120
and be able to fire back and say, here's how I
used AI. I used it for this part of the editing.
142
00:13:53.120 --> 00:13:59.200
Here's how long it took me to write it. Here's
how much I wrote here's where I got my help. I
143
00:13:59.200 --> 00:14:05.920
create. The bulk of my stuff that I'm putting
out these days is more so videos and podcasts.
144
00:14:05.920 --> 00:14:11.520
I create a couple one minutes, three
days a week. The other two days a week,
145
00:14:11.520 --> 00:14:16.400
I create the fuller length, but
they usually stand at between 3, 4,
146
00:14:16.400 --> 00:14:23.680
5 minutes max. I create those ideas. I'm not
going to use some kind of trending software.
147
00:14:23.680 --> 00:14:29.760
I'm not using a script thing from AI. These
are my thoughts from my experiences. Now,
148
00:14:29.760 --> 00:14:35.360
once that video is done, I bring it into
sites like Submagic and it automatically,
149
00:14:35.360 --> 00:14:44.560
with AI, creates the video, the captions.
I also am a fan, a partial fan of Vidiq.
150
00:14:44.560 --> 00:14:48.480
Not for it to sit here and tell me this
is what I have to film and this is what
151
00:14:48.480 --> 00:14:54.320
I should film. And here's the latest trend.
So just hop on this train. No, I like that.
152
00:14:54.320 --> 00:15:03.680
I can upload to. I can upload to Vidiq a
video I can upload. I can also add in and say,
153
00:15:03.680 --> 00:15:09.520
okay, here's. Here's the captions, here's the
script, here's the point of what I'm going for.
154
00:15:09.520 --> 00:15:14.000
What would be some good keywords to add to
that and add to the description? It's the
155
00:15:14.000 --> 00:15:17.200
same thing with descriptions. I create my videos.
156
00:15:17.920 --> 00:15:23.920
I will say, okay, I have just created
a video. This is what the video is.
157
00:15:23.920 --> 00:15:30.800
This is the title of the video. Here is, Here is
the. The transcription from the video. I'm looking
158
00:15:30.800 --> 00:15:37.120
for a couple keyword phrases that would be strong
from what's been created to amplify the marketing.
159
00:15:37.120 --> 00:15:40.480
And that feels completely moral
and ethical and transparent to
160
00:15:40.480 --> 00:15:44.080
me. I'm happy to share that with
the world. While it's strange that
161
00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:48.480
some people from the faceless YouTube
channels to others that will go, okay,
162
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.320
what's trending? What's hot? What do I need?
Oh, gosh, I gotta write a script. Not anymore.
163
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:57.920
You can click on it and Vidiq will do it, and some
of these other ones will do it for you. That's not
164
00:15:57.920 --> 00:16:10.960
honest. Using AI as an editing tool, using AI to
bring, to enhance or assist on authority, I find
165
00:16:10.960 --> 00:16:18.320
to be a moral, ethical thing. And it's something
that I have no problem sharing how I use it.
166
00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:22.800
To these people that choose to hide that,
to these people that choose to deceive,
167
00:16:22.800 --> 00:16:28.080
to these people that use it so that it completely
creates their content, all their authority,
168
00:16:28.080 --> 00:16:32.320
all their knowledge, because it's built from
somewhere else. That to me, is dangerous.
169
00:16:33.920 --> 00:16:36.560
And that to me, it makes me wonder, you know,
170
00:16:36.560 --> 00:16:42.000
for the people that are looking into it. What
is it? Not only are they scamming, but they're.
171
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:49.760
They're holding themselves with no liability
to anybody, no accountability. So if you start
172
00:16:49.760 --> 00:16:55.680
seeing somebody that just pops up out of nowhere,
watch for some of the signs. Do you notice that
173
00:16:55.680 --> 00:17:01.040
for all of a sudden they didn't seem to have
much going on? They had a couple blogs here,
174
00:17:01.040 --> 00:17:06.400
they had a couple posts here with social media,
and then all of a sudden they're drenched
175
00:17:06.400 --> 00:17:11.760
in social media. They have all these blogs
coming out day after day after day after day.
176
00:17:11.760 --> 00:17:18.320
And many posts in a given day that might
be AI, it might not be them. Do they all
177
00:17:18.320 --> 00:17:22.560
of a sudden have they gone from never writing a
book to all of a sudden they have five books in
178
00:17:22.560 --> 00:17:27.200
a series of months to all of a sudden having
these courses that just seem to have come out
179
00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:34.320
of nowhere? Might be. Again, might be AI? Yes.
There are people that are working and they're
180
00:17:34.320 --> 00:17:38.960
putting together and they're prepping certain
stuff for a given launch, and that's one thing.
181
00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:45.600
But when all of a sudden the content, the courses,
a series of books, a whole bunch of stuff seems to
182
00:17:45.600 --> 00:17:49.280
all of a sudden come into play, that might
have been the time when they signed up for
183
00:17:49.280 --> 00:17:55.600
their little subscription, they paid their little
fees, and they're in full exploiting mode of you
184
00:17:55.600 --> 00:18:04.000
don't get caught in trying to buy into the hype.
That is not true. And even inside of some of this,
185
00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:10.960
you may notice, see if you can get something
where you can test out and read through it.
186
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.800
Does it look like it's just a call to action?
There's one individual I worked on with a book
187
00:18:16.800 --> 00:18:23.600
and I stepped away from working with him because
at first it was truly a stewarding, gifting,
188
00:18:23.600 --> 00:18:30.080
intelligent book from an amazing individual
that had great knowledge and great experience.
189
00:18:30.080 --> 00:18:35.200
But then he turned it into a call to action.
Everything was a call to action about that
190
00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.440
book. And it's not saying that a book can't
promote your authority, but I don't believe
191
00:18:39.440 --> 00:18:45.600
a book should create your authority. And I don't
believe that a book needs to be a call to action.
192
00:18:45.600 --> 00:18:48.800
From that book, if someone gets
a good enough sense, wow, well,
193
00:18:48.800 --> 00:18:52.880
this is who he is. This is how he does it. These
are his experiences. This is a sense of him.
194
00:18:52.880 --> 00:18:57.760
Okay, great. But if in a chapter three
different times to learn more. Oh,
195
00:18:57.760 --> 00:19:00.480
to learn this. Oh, to get this,
you just got to work with me.
196
00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:05.920
Oh, you just sign up here. Oh, just,
oh, pay me this then. It's not a book,
197
00:19:05.920 --> 00:19:10.400
it's an ad pamphlet in My opinion and for you,
198
00:19:10.400 --> 00:19:14.720
for the individuals that see these
things, yes, I get it. It can be enticing.
199
00:19:14.720 --> 00:19:19.760
It's kind of like, you know, sugar candy of
like, I've always wanted to have a book. This
200
00:19:19.760 --> 00:19:27.280
scam site says I can have a book. I think
deep down most people know that, wait,
201
00:19:27.280 --> 00:19:33.040
I'm going to be an author in two minutes. They
know that there's something wrong with that.
202
00:19:33.040 --> 00:19:39.120
Go with your gut, think about it, pray
on it. Stand on a foundation of truth
203
00:19:39.120 --> 00:19:44.400
and transparency. Because as you build,
as AI gets smarter, AI is also beginning
204
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:50.000
identify more and more the fakes. And for people
saying, oh, well, we're able to hide this AI.
205
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:56.240
We're able to hide the AI writing, more themes,
more patterns are showing up, more is coming
206
00:19:56.240 --> 00:20:04.560
out. Are you prepared in your business, with your
product, with your service, are you prepared to
207
00:20:04.560 --> 00:20:11.360
go truly transparent for who you are, for what you
know, for where you learned it, for the knowledge,
208
00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:20.720
the wisdom, the discernment that you've grown?
Does it prove out or did it magically appear
209
00:20:20.720 --> 00:20:28.000
overnight because of an AI system? Did you hire
some kind of marketing AI thing to give off the
210
00:20:28.000 --> 00:20:33.680
appearance, or did you genuinely go and learn
these things? It's even awful. You know, some of
211
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:37.920
these colleges, you don't need to go this long.
You don't need this long to get this master's.
212
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:44.000
How do you know this individual might need
that? It's looking in and it's vetting
213
00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:50.240
and it's digging deeper and it's choosing
the path that you want to go. In the end,
214
00:20:50.240 --> 00:20:58.000
it is your choice. There are more options
now than ever to lie, to deceive, to cheat,
215
00:20:58.000 --> 00:21:05.040
to steal, to rip off, to appear as something
that you are absolutely not. But there's also,
216
00:21:05.040 --> 00:21:07.920
in the middle of this honesty, there's integrity.
217
00:21:07.920 --> 00:21:13.920
There's the ability to stand out and shine
like a bright, beautiful light of truth,
218
00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:18.480
of love and of transparency, of being
able to share transparency. Hey,
219
00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:23.760
this. You know what? I did use AI, but I used
it this way. Here's what I did to create this.
220
00:21:23.760 --> 00:21:26.560
Here's how long it took me to write the book.
221
00:21:26.560 --> 00:21:33.120
Here's how I wrote it. Talk about those
things. Showcase so that you can share.
222
00:21:33.120 --> 00:21:37.440
If you're going the moral route, if
you're going the transparent route,
223
00:21:37.440 --> 00:21:45.920
so you can be seen differently in a sea of
fakes, in how you stand and how you wrote,
224
00:21:45.920 --> 00:21:52.800
in where the book came from, in where the
experiences happen, in how you put this together,
225
00:21:52.800 --> 00:21:56.800
having that little story that may end up being
a series of videos, it may End up being a series
226
00:21:56.800 --> 00:22:04.320
of blogs, a post of pictures of the process, of
the time, track it. When did you first sit down
227
00:22:04.320 --> 00:22:11.680
and start writing? When did you. When did
you stop? I. I've been writing something.
228
00:22:11.680 --> 00:22:15.840
It's a. It looks like it may
be another book for me. It
229
00:22:15.840 --> 00:22:17.840
started off not intentionally at first. It was.
230
00:22:17.840 --> 00:22:22.000
I'm just going to get this out to now
becoming something that goes like, okay,
231
00:22:22.000 --> 00:22:26.480
this, this may be a book. This may be
a book for a side of the story that I
232
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:34.400
feel I want to have seen. And I've gotten
to the point where it was started in June
233
00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:41.520
and the last I wrote the opener and the closer,
I guess you could call it opening and closing
234
00:22:41.520 --> 00:22:49.360
thoughts for the whole thing this morning and
in that may be my next book. I'm not sure yet,
235
00:22:49.360 --> 00:22:54.880
but I can state, here's what I did, here's how I
worked on it, here's how I created it, here's how.
236
00:22:54.880 --> 00:22:58.880
Here's the process, here's the dates, here's
the timeline. I'm going that extra distance
237
00:22:58.880 --> 00:23:07.840
right now to showcase this came from me and
did not come from a prompt or an AI system or
238
00:23:07.840 --> 00:23:15.440
some cheap software thing. That this is me. And
that's where I want to leave you with this one.
239
00:23:15.440 --> 00:23:20.480
Be you if you're going to be honorable, if
you're going to show that integrity to stand
240
00:23:20.480 --> 00:23:28.880
out against this sea of lies, of deception,
thievery, false fronts and fake people and
241
00:23:28.880 --> 00:23:36.960
even those with some authority but trying to
shortcut, share how you didn't. A great deal
242
00:23:36.960 --> 00:23:42.640
of your marketing and your message and part
of that narrative can be shown in how you
243
00:23:42.640 --> 00:23:51.200
did it to prove that you did it and in that how
much better would it feel to be able to say no,
244
00:23:51.200 --> 00:23:57.520
you know, oh, this guy's an author and this
guy's. Are they. I can't say if they are.
245
00:23:57.520 --> 00:24:01.520
I can't say if they're not. But
I can tell you this is the blood,
246
00:24:01.520 --> 00:24:07.200
sweat, tears and time that I put in.
And with anything that's worth anything,
247
00:24:07.200 --> 00:24:14.080
it is blood, sweat, tears and time. And
while they claim and many of these fake
248
00:24:14.080 --> 00:24:19.440
false flag companies and scam artists,
oh, you just do this in two minutes.
249
00:24:19.440 --> 00:24:25.600
Somewhere deep down, I believe everyone
knows it's fake, it's wrong, it's untrue,
250
00:24:25.600 --> 00:24:30.960
and it's a way to make a quick buck.
And I'd like to see, I'd like to see,
251
00:24:30.960 --> 00:24:35.200
you know, accountability on that. I like
to see that if you had to use those things
252
00:24:35.200 --> 00:24:39.840
that you would not be allowed a copyright
or it would have to be stated somewhere
253
00:24:39.840 --> 00:24:46.240
in the book what this was and how it was
created. That's not coming anytime soon.
254
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:52.800
But at the same time, for you to counter and
be able to tell the truth of your process,
255
00:24:52.800 --> 00:25:00.640
your system, how you came to get from point A to
point B and the details in there, then in that
256
00:25:00.640 --> 00:25:07.200
transparency, you're blowing the others out of
the water and you're showcasing the truth of you,
257
00:25:07.200 --> 00:25:14.560
the truth of a book, of where you stand, of
what you have for experiences and, and what
258
00:25:14.560 --> 00:25:23.280
you are capable of over so many others that
have so little capability to do anything that
259
00:25:23.280 --> 00:25:31.520
they're looking for any way to appear as something
they're not. And they don't care how it could come
260
00:25:31.520 --> 00:25:35.200
off. If they're lying, if they're deceiving,
if they're cheating, as long as they can make
261
00:25:35.200 --> 00:25:42.800
that quick buck and hold no accountability in
the moment, they're thrilled. Shame on them.
262
00:25:42.800 --> 00:25:48.560
And instead of being like them, consider
standing in honor and transparency as you
263
00:25:48.560 --> 00:25:54.560
be true. Be true to you. Be true to the
audience that you may want to build or
264
00:25:54.560 --> 00:26:00.000
that you're trying to build. I believe
it makes all the difference in the world
265
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:06.480
and really highlights who you are as a
person and who you would share that with.
266
00:26:06.480 --> 00:26:12.240
I mean, the last thing I'll say, would you tell
a daughter or a son, this is how you created a
267
00:26:12.240 --> 00:26:18.400
book. Would you tell a family member? Would
you tell somebody that you look up to. This
268
00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:23.360
is what you did and this is the process that
you did. And if you don't feel comfortable or
269
00:26:23.360 --> 00:26:32.480
there's something tugging or nagging, then why
do that to the public at large? Honor yourself.
270
00:26:32.480 --> 00:26:38.640
Be true, be transparent, be professional.
Even in a world where everyone is saying
271
00:26:38.640 --> 00:26:43.952
you don't have to and you can go
the other way, take that route that
272
00:26:44.560 --> 00:26:48.960
a little less people are going through, go
through that gate that's a little skinnier
273
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:53.840
than the other one. It's something that
may allow you to be a little bit more
274
00:26:53.840 --> 00:27:01.840
proud of the achievement of what you create
