If the problem is that the book is unfinished and disorganized, maybe ask an AI for help? Like, don’t let it write actual text, but maybe it could help you organized the chapters in a good order, point out important parts that are missing, etc.
If publishing is the problem, ask an AI, or ask people online without telling them what kind of book this is, only that it is non-fiction.
Depending on the state of your book, could it make sense to split it into “part 1” and “part 2″, so that you can release the part 1 as soon as possible, and then take some time to complete the part 2?
I’ll confess that I’m so paranoid about AI scraping information I have to avoid it all together until it is published. Once it’s published I’ll be curious to see what it says, and I can always make a later revised version. I also have a personal ethos around not using AI being valuable in retrospect as a more authentic representation of myself, my mistakes, my biases, as a person from the 21st century. So I also want to preserve any neanderthalic elements of character, as a testament to myself, whatever they may be.
I think what I’m going to aim to do, is start publishing it as a serialised publication on Substack (not sure if there are any other platforms I could use). Probably lock it behind a paywall, but post excerpts here to Less Wrong for criticisms. Keeping the elaborations behind the main body of work, but offering the main proposals for criticism here.
Thank you for the response Viliam, much appreciated. I was in a big panic yesterday and a bit overwhelmed, I still am but I guess that is the nature of feeling under pressure to do anything.
