We've just dropped the complete text of "AI and the Art of Being Human" (the Pocket Edition) as a free AI Companion, and want to know how you will use it!
This is the most creative way I've seen of embracing the AI age without compromising one's soul as an author. Will put it in use right away. I'm also getting your book, I'm totally sold.
1. Presumably if people are uploading the Markdown file to their LLM of choice, and their settings allow training on their conversations, the book and its contents will be more strongly represented in future model releases. No bad thing, of course, given the focus of your work.
2. Would you be happy for others to adapt the preamble of the Markdown file (the instructions for humans and for LLMs) for similar projects, assuming full attribution given? I authored an open access book a couple of years ago, and this could be an interesting experiment to replicate.
1. I would assume so - and happy with this as it will make the ideas and tools even more accessible (top priority) and also is likely to increase interest in the book
OMG! This is LITERARY INNOVATION! What an incredible idea! Congratulations. I have downloaded the .md file and will see what new adventures it immerses me in and share back. Cant wait to read the comments and see how people are riffing on this!

Fascinating will give this a try.
What a great idea! Two comments/questions:

2. Absolutely!
