Here are examples to try at chatGPT.com:
Write a memoir of a heart surgeon in the style of William Manchester.
Produce a chapter on Porfirio Díaz’s regime writing in the style of Robert Caro as edited by Robert Gottlieb.
Rewrite "France in the Middle Ages," published by Wiley-Blackwell, in the style of "An Army at Dawn" by Rick Atkinson
You'll see that they limit the length of the output to try to tamp down the copyright issues and/or because I am using the free version of ChatGTP. But if you could create brief excepts and run them through over and over, maybe with a software script, it shows a problem for non-fiction publishers going forward.
As mentioned previously, there also are issues for self-publishing -- maybe worse. When I read a memoir, I want to think I am getting in touch with an actual person. If published by Random House, maybe most of the work was done by the editorial team, but it feels like there is a real person there. AI will not change that. But if self-published, and with ChatGTP even slightly improved, I would have no idea.
There never will be a shortage of good fiction, so I do not post in a thread like this about that.
