I have been playing around with AI. I would never use it for writing a book. I have generated AI pictures for pictures on WordPress. I find it can create a picture I can not find that captures my post. But I stopped using it because it uses artists for free.

And yes, I did create the image for this post with AI. I was too intrigued with what it would come up with.

Another admission, I do use it to create a back cover and blurbs for my books. It is something I struggle with. I do come up with several drafts of it before sending it through the AI machine. I then edit what it spits out because it is not good enough.

Here is my description for my book The Tao of Apathy:

Who are the employees of St Jude’s Medical Center? You already know who they are. You work with them. Come take a madcap meeting with them anyway and see how and why they leave common sense behind as the new hospital administrator William Petty changes everything. He adjusts associated staffing levels (fires people) and increases workloads (sometimes for the fired people). He even limits Father Chuck to added-value duties. In response, the employees begin to form bad habits and a union. However, no one handles the changes worse than Bigger, a kitchen worker with a belief that he is affected by invisibility rays. The worst thing he could ever imagine happens—his boss offers him a promotion. All he has to do is betray his coworkers and help keep people from voting for the union.He seeks out advice from his motley crew of friends: Dykes who tells every woman he sleeps with that he is lonely; Dan the audio/visual geek who organizes the union just to piss his wife off; and even Father Chuck who is so stunned that he must now bill patients for his prayers that he spends his days bitterly smoking in the designated area for oral nicotine worship, “The Butt Hutt.” The only person to give him good advice is his friend Joe who teaches him the Tao of Apathy. It’s a powerful tool, but will Bigger choose to use it?

Here is what AI spit out for me:

Here’s a blurb for “The Tao of Apathy”:

In a world obsessed with hustle and grind, discover the liberating power of apathy.

“The Tao of Apathy” is a subversive guide to cultivating a healthy disregard for the demands of modern life. Through insightful anecdotes and philosophical musings, this book explores the art of:

• Embracing stillness: Finding peace amidst the chaos and learning to appreciate the beauty of doing nothing.
• Resisting the urge to achieve: Letting go of the pressure to succeed and finding joy in the present moment.
• Cultivating indifference: Learning to detach from the opinions and expectations of others.
• Reclaiming your time: Breaking free from the tyranny of to-do lists and prioritizing what truly matters.

“The Tao of Apathy” is not about becoming lazy or unproductive. It’s about reclaiming your inner peace and finding true fulfillment in a world that constantly demands more.

This book is for anyone who feels overwhelmed, exhausted, and disconnected from their true selves.

Here’s a book description for “Who are the employees of St. Jude’s Medical Center?”:

In the hallowed halls of St. Jude’s Medical Center, chaos reigns supreme. When the new, ruthlessly efficient administrator, William Petty, arrives, he sets out to “streamline” operations, a euphemism for mass layoffs and increased workloads. From overworked nurses to bewildered doctors, the staff grapples with the fallout, their morale plummeting faster than Petty’s approval ratings.

Enter Bigger, a kitchen worker convinced he’s the target of invisible rays. When Petty offers him a promotion – a Judas role in sabotaging the burgeoning union – Bigger’s world implodes. Seeking guidance, he turns to his eccentric friends: Dykes, the lonely Lothario; Dan, the AV tech on a union-fueled revenge mission against his wife; and the disillusioned Father Chuck, now forced to charge for his blessings.

But the most unexpected advice comes from Joe, a fellow kitchen worker who imparts the wisdom of the Tao of Apathy. This powerful philosophy offers Bigger a way to resist, to detach from the chaos, and to find inner peace amidst the absurdity. Will Bigger embrace apathy and find solace in indifference, or will he succumb to the pressure and betray his colleagues?

“Who are the employees of St. Jude’s Medical Center?” is a darkly comedic satire that explores the absurdities of workplace life, the corrosive effects of corporate greed, and the enduring power of human connection (and maybe a little bit of apathy) in the face of overwhelming adversity.

This book is for fans of:

• Office Space: Satirical workplace comedies that capture the frustrations of everyday employees.
• The Office: Absurdist humor with quirky characters and relatable workplace scenarios.
• Catch-22: Novels that explore the absurdity of bureaucracy and the human condition.

I do know know if i would use it, but I think it does produce wording that a publicist would use and I can not afford one. What do you think?
