Q & A
Quel est le but principal de cette vidéo ?
-Le but principal est d'expliquer comment écrire un livre à l'aide de l'intelligence artificielle en 2024, en détaillant les étapes et les outils.
Quels sont les deux meilleurs moyens proposés pour écrire le texte avec l'IA ?
-Les deux meilleures méthodes sont : écrire une section à la time en éditant au fur et à mesure, ou écrire des chapitres entiers en une seule fois avec des « super prompts ».
L'IA peut-elle vraiment remplacer les auteurs ?
-Non, l'IA est présentée comme un outil de productivité pour aider les auteurs, et non pour les remplacer.
Quelles sont les principales étapes du processus d'écriture ?
-Les principales étapes sont : la réflexion, le brainstorming, la création de plan, le développement des personnages, les recherches, les voyages, la rédaction, et les différents types de révision et d'édition.
Pourquoi l'auteur a-t-il fait une deuxième version de cette vidéo ?
-Parce que l'IA évolue rapidement et qu'il fallait mettre à jour les informations concernant les nouveaux modèles et outils disponibles depuis la première version.
Comment l'IA peut-elle aider à la recherche pour une fiction historique ?

Highlights
Writing involves thinking, brainstorming, outlining, developing characters, research, travel, typing, editing - it's a multi-step process.
Use AI for the parts of writing you like the least, spend more time on what you love doing yourself.
The fractal technique starts small and expands an idea into a larger one, like a snowflake growing.
Spend time validating the AI output, making sure it's good - AI is a junior writing partner.
For non-fiction, start with a message to share, ask AI for chapter ideas to educate people.
Don't write non-fiction on unfamiliar topics - use AI for productivity, not to do the work.
Writing one section at a time allows editing as you go - later sections require less editing.
Super prompts generate entire chapters at once, but require advanced prompting and multiple tries.
For SEO articles, manually create the outline then use a super prompt to generate content.
AI helps with brainstorming, outlining, research - it won't replace writers, but empower them.
The writer's strike led to AI being a tool for authors, not replacing them.
AI helps authors excel beyond what they could do alone, with less headache.
AI is a mind saver, though not necessarily a time saver.
Use every tool available in the quest to become the best storyteller.
AI helps blast past writing resistances like burnout, neurodivergence, writer's block.
Tools tailored for fiction vs. non-fiction work better than general chatbots.
AI writing tools and capabilities evolve rapidly, guidance requires regular updating.
Transcripts
today I'm going to show you how to write
a book with AI in 2024 while it may look
like you can just write a book with the
push of a button anyone who's actually
worked with AI knows it's not that
simple hello my name is Jason I'm the
nerdy novelist and I made my first video
on this channel in response to so many
people out there making videos about how
to write a book with AI and it was clear
from an author who's written multiple
books at this point and who has worked
for the last couple of years at
kindlepreneur which is one of the
largest websites about writing and
self-publishing your books it became
very clear to me that most of these
people that were making videos about how
to write books with AI knew nothing
about what they were talking about uh
and had clearly never written a book in
their life I have and so in this video
I'm going to be giving you the
step-by-step method to write a book
whether it's fiction or non-fiction
using Ai and then I will show you two
different methods that I believe are the
two best methods to actually get the
pros out and onto the page now before we
do that I want to answer the question
should we even be using AI to write
books now I know this is a controversial
question for a lot of people but here's
my take on it a lot of people view
writing as a single thing that you do
when in fact it is actually a multi-step
process it involves thinking
brainstorming it involves outlining it
involves developing characters and
developing your world it involves
research it might even involve travel it
involves of course the actual mechanical
Act of typing the words out onto a page
or writing them down by hand if that's
more your style it involves multiple
types of editing we have developmental
editing we have line editing we have
proof reading that's just the tip of the
iceberg and that entire process is
something that we call writing most
people are not going to need to use AI
for every single step of that process
and in fact what I recommend is that you
pick the area that you love the least
and choose to learn how to use AI for
that particular step of the process and
for other areas that you love the most
make sure those are the areas that you
spend the most time on yourself what
this is going to do is it's going to
maximize the amount of creative pleasure
that you get out of writing while also
making it a little bit easier on
yourself so you don't burn out which is
what happened to me several years ago
and which AI was able to help me with
but that said I'm going to show you how
you can use AI in almost every step of
the process in this video so let's Dive
In now I'm not going to talk too much
about the tools that we're going to need
but there is a video that you can check
out at the end of this video to know
what tools are the best tools for
writing fiction however my general
recommendation is that you have one tool
that is specialized for the type of
fiction or non-fiction that you want to
use and then a specific chatbot to help
with basically everything else the two
most common chat Bots are Claude and
chat GPT however you also can use other
tools such as open router or po to
access multiple different models within
one service now generally when writing a
book I recommend a prompting strategy
called the fractal technique which is
very similar to another strategy that
existed long before AI called the
snowflake technique and in that
technique you basically start with a
small idea and then you expand that idea
into something larger and then you
expand that into something larger etc
etc etc until you have a fully fleshed
out manuscript I'll give you an idea of
what that looks like right now I'm going
to use a random brainstorming prompt you
don't have to use this particular one
any kind of prompt to get your ideas
flowing will do give me an idea for 10
news stories set within a
1920s New York setting that could be
used as the basis for a
hardboiled detective story and now it's
going to give me 10 news stories for a
1920s New York hardboiled detective
story socialite found murdered in her
luxury apartment apartment on Park
Avenue police suspect her jealous
husband or lover a police a politician
is caught up in a Speak Easy shooting he
claims he was there trying to close it
down but rumors swirl and so on and so
on and then we get a whole bunch of
these ideas and you might start piecing
them together so let's say we want to do
this one a reclusive millionaire art
collector is killed when a precious
painting is stolen from his Fifth Avenue
mansion you now take this and say please
flesh out number six into a full
synopsis with a three act structure and
that's a simple version of a synopsis
prompt to get a full synopsis out of
this and you can see how this goes right
we take act one and expand that into a
more Ser a larger series of chapters
then we take chapter one and expand that
into to a larger series of Beats and
from the Beats we create our full Pros
now there's a problem that happens at
this stage and the problem is that we
might take a look at this and it's a
little too generic or it's lacking
creativity or what have you and so one
of the most important things that you
need to do and one of the reasons why AI
is not going to replace authors but is
instead kind of a junior writing partner
is that you have to spend a good amount
of time validating these words and
making sure that they are good and so
I'll give you an example of what that
looks like here so let's say we take
this synopses here into Microsoft Word
and we say Edmund Charles clarage III is
a waspish eccentric millionaire who
lives in a palacial yet gloomy Fifth
Avenue Mansion stuffed with Priceless
rare art which no one ever sees he keeps
all visitors out and leaves the house
only for occasional trips to obscure
galleries to buy more precious paintings
one morning CL clar's longtime Butler
enters the lock study to find his life
lifeless body slumped over his desk a
decorative letter opener stuck in his
back and an empty space on the wall
where his newly purchased 2 million
rembrand painting hung all right not a
bad opening kind of generic though and
so one of the things we might want to do
is say like what are some more creative
ways that we could make this better and
you can just write that in right here or
you can say please brainstorm five ways
to make the o
opening hook more creative and then you
let Claude or chat gbt whichever chat
bot you're using I give you a few ideas
and from those ideas then you can then
pick and choose oh that sounds good or
that doesn't I you know whatever it is
you want to do now the other thing you
might be asking is what about
non-fiction and with non-fiction the
fractal technique works as well but it's
going to be a little bit different with
non-fiction you might start out with a
simple idea of a message you want to
share or something you want to educate
people on and then you ask chat GPT for
a number of ideas for chapters that you
want to include inside of that book for
non-fiction in particular you have to be
careful about the actual accuracy of
your text which is something you don't
have to worry about too much for fiction
because it's fictional but it can give
you a really good rundown of possible
chapter types that you want to have
within the non-fiction book and then
what you can do is within each chapter
you then ask the AI to brainstorm and
outline for that chapter and then from
there you can go into actually writing
the entire thing I'll open up another
chat here in Claude to give you an
example of what I mean so let's say I
already have an idea for a non-fiction
book I want to write and so all I would
do is say please give me a list of we'll
say 30 possible chapters for a book
about
dopamine fasting so we don't necessarily
need to get to this synopsis stage we
can kind of skip from idea to fully a
fully fleshed out outline but then what
we want to do is like with the synopsis
for the fiction we want to go through
these and make sure that they are actual
actual topics that we want to write
about I cannot stress enough you should
not be writing non-fiction about topics
that you are unfamiliar with and I know
some of you are going to be saying well
if you're already familiar with it what
do you need AI for and the reason you
need AI is because it is a productivity
assistant not something that's doing the
work for you it is assisting you and so
it can give you ideas you look at these
30 chapter types and you say oh yeah
these are all really great things to
cover but maybe this chapter isn't
really relevant or this chapter is kind
of repeating itself from an earlier
chapter and you just go through and pick
and choose the chapters that you want
and then sort of figure out in what
order they should go and then let's say
we're ready ready to write one of the
chapters we let's say foods to avoid
during a dopamine fast all right number
seven let's say we're writing that
chapter right now please give me a list
of topics to cover in chapter 7 and
since we're using the same chat it knows
the context of what chapter 7 means and
so it's able to give a very clear list
of topics to cover so Define what foods
foods are considered stimulating and
should be avoided discuss avoiding
processed foods high in sugar unhealthy
fats and chemical additives explain why
foods like cake candy soda and junk food
should not be consumed talk about
cutting out or limiting caffeine intake
from coffee tea and energy drinks and so
on and so forth and it does a really
good job and if you're an expert in the
field you'll be able to know like yes
that's a good one no that's not a good
one and you might be able to also add a
few chances are going through this list
will help you really understand what you
should be doing it'll help you add some
things that that you might have missed
but it'll also prompt you to add a few
extra things that you with your
expertise already know and then from
here you can say write the first 500
Words of this chapter if you want to do
Pros however this is a rather
inefficient way to create your pros and
that brings me to the two methods that I
believe are the best to actually write
the pros for you let me reiterate that
you don't have to use AI for this
process but if you do I'm going to show
you the two best ways to do so the first
is writing it one section at a time the
second is writing entire chapters all at
once and there are pros and cons to each
the writing chapters all at once
requires often a little bit more
advanced prompting which I am going to
show you later so the first one let's
talk about going step by step I'm going
to use a tool called novel crafter which
is specifically for fiction but you can
find other tools that are similar for
non-fiction out there or you can just
use chat GPT to do this chat GPT is
actually set up pretty well to run a
similar situation to this for
non-fiction but basically what we do is
here in novel crafter we can add what's
called a scene beat these are similar to
these individual bullet points that we
want to cover so you in this case we say
Cinderella runs from the ball and
forgets her slipper right and then we
generate the pros in novel crafter you
can generate you can pick which model
you want to use I'm going to use Claude
2 and it starts writing this particular
scene Cinderella bursts through the
Grand doors of the palace Ballroom her
heart pounded in her chest the Chimes of
the tall grandfather clock at the top of
the grand staircase began to ring out
signaling the start of the Midnight Hour
and so what you can do is you can just
wait until this finishes generating so
after it's finished generating you get
you have a whole bunch of text and you
can basically say Hey you know I
obviously this part here is where it
says here's a 900 word to continue
ination of the story you can get rid of
that and then you can edit this to your
heart's content for instance in this
particular version it it cuts halfway
through and says back at the palace the
prince wander wandered days through the
thinning crowds let's say we don't want
that part so we just get rid of that and
we edit this up because AI typically is
not great at natural sounding Pros
Claude 2 does seem to be the best model
for natural sounding Pros but it it's
usually very over the top and requires a
lot of editing so what you can do is you
can go through edit this down to your
heart's content and then put in the next
scene beat and it'll pick up immediately
from where you left off and the nice
thing about doing it this way is that
when you're doing the second scene beat
it will look at your first scene beat
especially if you're using a tool like
novel crafter and it will see the style
of your writing and then it will
continue in a similar style it won't be
exact but it will be much closer to
something that you want which means that
as you go each section will require less
editing because you've already edited
the last little bit and it can see what
you did and understand that in a tool
like chat GPT you can do this in a
similar fashion where you just take give
it a number of story beats and say write
500 Words of these story beats and then
you can give it the next couple of story
Beats and say write 500 Words of this
and you just move one step at a time
that way however it's a lot less
inefficient in a tool in a chatbot like
chat GPT or Claude really it's great to
have a tool like novel crafter to really
handle it for the specific situation
that you're in so that is the
step-by-step approach where you're kind
of editing it as you go however there is
another approach that I find to be maybe
even a little bit more fun although
somewhat less efficient and that is
writing an entire chapter at once here's
how you do that introducing this super
prompt this is an example of a super
prompt which is a in essence a very long
prompt that you take and you stick into
usually it's Claude 2.0 it's the only
one that can really handle this G the
latest versions of chat GPT can also
handle this however they tend to export
a little bit less words so with Claud
you could actually potentially get two
or 3,000 words in one go whereas with
chat GPT you might only get around 600
so it depends on your needs and what you
specifically ask for but I'm going to be
demonstrating this with Claude so this
is an example of a fiction Pros super
prompt I have instructions here that
says using all of the information on
chapter beats overview setting and
characters write 50,000 words of a
chapter with plenty of detail and deep
point of view use the style to determine
the pro style of the output follow the
chapter beats exactly etc etc etc lots
of instructions here and then here I
have the style that I wanted to write in
then I have a space to add characters
and I have a space to add the setting
and a space to add the overview and a
space to add the chapter beats the way
this works is I add information about
the characters here I add information
about the setting here I add information
about the overview of the chapter here
which is just a one small paragraph
about the chapter and then I have the
chapter beats which is the bulk of this
whole thing I'll show you an example of
what this looks like when it's all
filled out this is an example of a
chapter from my book Heirs of Dracula
which I live streamed the entire thing
you can go ahead and check it out on the
channel but I have the instructions here
I have the style here I have a list of
characters here right and then the
setting and the overview and then here's
my list of chapter beats all of these
were generated with the help of AI but
not exclusively I did in fact these
chapter beats I actually wrote myself so
they were not written with the help of
AI although sometimes I will ask AI for
a specific section that I might be stuck
on and so that all goes into here and
then I take this super prompt and I go
into Claud now one thing I should note
is that Claude 2.1 which is the most
recent version of Claude does not do
well with the super prompt and so I come
all I always come here and go to clae 2
0
instead then I paste in the super prompt
and hit go and then here it goes and
it's giving me a full chapter using the
prompt that I gave it now I in this case
it's doing an odd Quirk where it adds
paragraph numbers here it sometimes will
do that and in fact one of the least
precise things about the super prompt is
that sometimes you do have to run it
multiple times in order to get something
usable and so some times you can
actually spend like a good half hour
just rerunning the prompt over and over
again to get the right thing however you
can in many cases get the entire chapter
generated in one go however these days
with tools like novel crafter I think
this this method is a little bit less
efficient because with novel crafter
you're able to run the entire thing and
you're able to do basically everything
that a super prompt can do because over
here in the Codex you can add characters
so it knows about characters you can add
locations for the setting there's all
sorts of different things you can do to
get the same effect but you're editing
it as you go which means it's not going
to get derailed as easily as it might
here if you're using a super prompt
however there is a non-fiction scenario
where I do still use the super prompt
and I love using it and that is for
online articles and I'll show you an
example of what that super prompt looks
like so this is an example of a super
prompt for an SEO informational article
the instructions go I want you to write
a 30,000 word informational article for
your topic by the way the reason I say
30,000 words is because I really want it
to stretch this only works with Cloud
2.0 so if you're using this with a gp4
model or with Cloud 2.1 you would need
to put in a lower number that's more
realistic but with CLA 2.0 you can
actually get some good results by
telling it to get have massive amounts
of words so an informational article
about your topic here from a first-
person perspective Ive use I when
describing your feelings about the
subject just to kind of make it a more
personal article and yada y yada and
then I have the style here and then I
for an SEO article I like to make sure
it has a list of keywords and I will
instruct it to include the keywords one
to four times depending and then we add
the article outline and this is where I
will actually go through and manually
add all of the headings that I want the
article to have and this is one step
that I do entirely myself based on my
own experience as an SEO writer because
I know what really a good article
outline should look like so I'll just
stick that all in there and then I will
give it examples of other articles that
cover the same topic because we want to
make sure that it has all of the
background information that it needs to
have and in case you're wondering about
plagiarism I have never and I've tested
this almost every time I've done it I
have never found that the AI plagiarizes
the other articles when you do this uh
and believe me I have checked that's an
example of an SEO article super prompt
and you could do something very similar
for a non-fiction book chapter so those
are the two different ways to actually
write Pros you can do it one step at a
time where you're editing as you go or
you can use a super prompt however the
super prompt is p is pretty limited it
can really only be used with Claude 2.0
and not any other model at least as of
the beginning of 2024 as always AI is an
Ever evolving system and so that is why
this is the second time I have created
this video because everything needs to
be updated now and then and I will
probably make it again before this year
is over as new models and new tools come
out now you might be asking why would
anybody actually want to write a book
with AI well in my experience I went
through a very severe period of burnout
and AI was actually the thing that sort
of prompted me to to get back into
writing a little bit because it was able
to help me blast past a lot of those
resistances and I found that most of the
people who follow me on this channel
have some kind of resistance that
they're struggling with maybe they're
dealing with burnout like I did maybe
they have some sort of neuro Divergence
like ADHD dyslexia or Autism maybe
you're just really stuck on a part of
your writing and you need to get past
that rers block the point is AI can help
you at every stage of the process it can
help you with brainstorming it can help
you with outlining it can help you with
doing research like research for a
historical fiction novel will never be
the same because now we have have ai to
help with that process the same goes for
non-fiction as well and I really hope
that this has helped you understand that
AI is more of a tool it's a productivity
tool to really help you be your best
self when you are writing and that it's
not a tool that will be replacing
writers in any way and in fact other
people know this in the writers strike
that happened in 2023 a lot of people
think that they were against AI when in
fact they weren't the results of the
writer strike led to an agreement that
meant that the studios would not be
replacing authors with AI but that the
power of using the AI would be in the
hands of the authors themselves that was
what they were fighting for so that the
authors could be the ones benefiting
from the AI and not the studios and I
actually think that that is the best way
for AI to be thought about it is a tool
for the authors to really Excel far
beyond what they would be able to do
otherwise and with less headache I've
said this before and I've said this
again AI is a mind saer not necessarily
A Time saer and in my ongoing quest to
be the best Storyteller ever I'm going
to be using every tool at my disposal
now that was useful for you and you
would like to know more about the actual
tools that I use I would recommend
looking at this video right here which
will walk you through my favorite tools
for writing fiction and I'll see you in
the next video
