I think you missed "If you're not a good writer, just prompt AI to write it for you, change a few words, and claim it's your writing", probably fit into Step 1. I figured you may've kept it out due to it being so bad it shouldn't even be in parody.
So freaking good, dude. A part of me was hoping you just did a blank article, but this was better. Fuel for my heart on this afternoon lunch break. When I read your stuff, my heart just lives in a constant 'YES' state. Blessings man!
I read this allowed to my husband this evening. Gave us both a good chuckle. Also a good reminder for me to not get caught up in trying to be “viral”, but to just write what I want.
Oof. I can feel your righteous rage/jealousy/bitterness/emotional upheaval/desire to break through the noise and sell books/inner turmoil from here. ;)
I've published books with four of the top five Christian publishers and can tell you that this article is so spot-on that it gave me instant anxiety.
May I add one? Just preach a sermon series written by your church-subsidized research assistant and then get a lowly minion ghostwriter to spin it into a book!
Oh, and you missed the top #1 insider's premier ultimate biggliest bestseller secret cheat code hack of all time-- the scam invented by John C. Maxwell (ResultSource) and used by Driscoll, Furtick, Noble, Jeremiah, Schuller, Wilhite, Terkeurst, and countless other top authors in Christendom: Just buy your way onto the New York Times bestseller list by hiring a book-buying service that uses 1,000+ different credit cards to simulate 12-25k book purchases across the nation over launch week.
(Contrast that with a Christian author I know who's a person of Christlike integrity and isn't an influencer/scammer: She's sold over 3 million copies but hasn't hit the NYT even once.)
Resisting the urge to promote my spicy new book that just came out...
The ending absolutely got me 🤣🤣 unironically tho I’ve been plugging your book to as many of my friends as I can, so I’m also participating in the hype train I guess?
Reads like a (shorter) Screwtape Letters to me; well done. Just have to get a John Cleese-type to read it.
BRB got him on speed dial haha
There's always Step 5....
LOL - i might code some AI to do it

I kept it out because it has never crossed my mind. But yes. AI making content 🤮
Inception meets Mad Max. That’s what my mind came up with after reading your words and Josh, I’m not mad at it.
you know what, me neither !
😆
Oh he IS very Mad Max, good eye
Listen i am very flattered by this.
I died inside when you said "The Collective". That was what I called my podcast "community".
Hi, Daniel. 👋🏼
Oh hey 😂
HAHAHAHA there's always a collective.
Slow 👏

Uncle Screwtape, is that your voice I hear?
Ahahah ;)
It was simple and let the reader take a lot to think about. Lovely!

Twenty years ago, Randy Alcorn called out Christendom authors for putting their names on books they didn't write, and it's becoming straight-up prophetic in the age of AI: https://www.epm.org/resources/2002/Jan/01/scandal-evangelical-dishonesty/

I’m gonna need to do a part two
What’s the book ???
Who doesn’t love a good post dripping with sarcasm. . . Hey, maybe there is a market for that!
Ooooh some untapped niche to exploit ! Haha

That’s the real way - word of mouth and love. That’s the way books deserve to grow - from hand to hand.
How do I pay you to make this happen for me?
I know a guy.
As long as it’s quick. Gods given me big dreams, ya know. I don’t have time, the algorithm waits for no man.
The best thing that hit my email inbox today
well shucks !
Stingingly good.
The real ones get it. You’re a real one.
Thank you for seeing it. 🔥
