Sean Pat, author of Mind Your Own Money, says he couldn't have written his book without AI. He has learning disabilities that made writing difficult, so ChatGPT helped him extract his ideas, structure them, and turn them into a finished manuscript. For him, AI was a cognitive amplifier, not a shortcut.

What are your thoughts on artificial intelligence and nonfiction books? I mean, should authors be using AI to write their books? That's a question that I had, and I wasn't really sure how I felt about it until I talked to this author, Sean Pat. Sean wrote Mind Your Own Money: A Young Adult's Guide to Financial Freedom. This is an excellent book, but right in the beginning, he gives credit to OpenAI and ChatGPT, saying, hey, it helped him enrich the content of the book. So I had a chance to interview him, and I said, Sean, what's the deal with this? Is AI okay? Should we use it to write our books? What was your process? Like. And he admitted something. He said, listen, with my learning disabilities, I could not have written this book without the help of AI. But AI took very valuable information out of his head, put it on the paper, and made it accessible to everybody else. That could not have happened without the use of ChatGPT.
