I was wondering the same.

It feels like a mature version of this product would be ideal for publishers and other customers of authors.

However I suspect we are not there yet technological wise and therefore he was unable/didn't attempt to sell the product to these companies.

It would be ideal for someone, but either he can't summarize his product well or it gives me the chills.. Autogenerated texts with correct form and an appearance of putting in the thought is the kind of thing that turns people off to whole industries and gets them to go back to reading things with an earlier publication date than the technology.

This seems like a product fit for content farms/SEO optimised sites that have no intention of anybody reading the output.

> publishers and other customers of authors

To do what? Auto-generate new books about a particular series when the writer doesn’t want to write any more?

Possibly with some prompting help from a ghostwriter?

It IS basically Github's CoPilot, but for plain text, no?
