How I Use AI for Self Publishing

About this video

(Summarized from the Arabic-language caption track.) Dale explains how he uses generative AI to save time in his author business, pushing back on both get-rich-quick hype — he cites videos promising earnings of 15,000 dollars a month from AI as an example of that hype — and extreme anti-AI fears. He says he first tried generative AI around 2021 for Amazon ad copy, with inconclusive results, and later used a chat AI for fiction brainstorming, treating it as a sounding board rather than a ghostwriter. He now delegates tasks such as video descriptions, keywords, shorts, grammar checking, and title generation. The video is sponsored by the AI writing platform Dibbly Create and its Kip assistant, which he used to outline and draft a 45-minute Lulu presentation of roughly 4,000 to 6,000 words, to write a book in 7 days on his iPhone 7, and another in 20 hours over 4 days. He stresses AI cannot replace family time or human professionals such as editors and cover designers, and urges authors to try AI on one disliked task.
