Will Ghostwriting Survive Even After AI?

With the rise of AI, people think that it can help them to write short-form to long-form content but can it really write a book and replace human writers? Let's discuss more about it:

1. Lack of Emotional Depth: Will you choose to listen to a story or a speech if it is narrated in a robotic voice? No, you won't. But why? Because it seems generic and uninteresting, isn't it? Similarly, the text that is generated using AI is generic and boring too because it is generated based on certain patterns and it fails to understand our emotions.

2. Struggles With Nuance & Voice: Every author has a unique voice. A ghostwriter is an expert in capturing it because they listen carefully and understand the requirements of their clients whereas, the content that is generated with the help of AI is robotic and it can't make the writing engaging.

3. Limited Research: Ghostwriting is not about rewriting the existing content. It requires the ability to understand the client's vision and turn their ideas into a book incorporating their unique voice in it. Sometimes writing a book also requires in-depth research and no AI tool can do this effectively. These tools only give information from the database but they can't provide accurate facts. 

What Makes Human Unique?

1. Authenticity & Personal Connection: Building relationships with clients is one of the important aspects of ghostwriting. Before writing a book for their clients ghostwriters put an effort into understanding your perspective, emotions, and goals. It is important to build a connection with clients because it helps in writing a book that resonates with their personality - This is something that AI can never do.

2. Creativity & Adaptability: Do you know what is one of the best aspects that sets human ghostwriters writers apart from AI? Their ability to think outside the box! Whether it's about writing a memoir sharing a thought leader’s insights with the world or writing a story of the brand, human creativity is a treasure beyond comparison.

3. Flexibility in Writing and Strategy: AI-written or AI-inspired content is like a body without a soul. Even if someone rewrites that content in their own words it will still lack the charm because it will be like the dead body that is decorated in good clothes. Anything written by a professional writer is like a child’s personality - pure and heart-touching. Remember readers love to read content that can evoke emotions in them and AI can never add an emotional touch in the book. Ghostwriters know how to incorporate client's feedback in the book and make sure that the content evolves in a meaningful way.

It might be okay to use AI when you are in a hurry and you want to draft a message but using AI to write a book may be the wrong choice if you are planning to write a book to build your brand or you are passionate about being an author. Because doing so will affect your credibility. However, if you want to write a book for the sake of vanity and the quality of the book doesn't matter to you, then you can think about using AI.
