Then I rewrote the entire book.

Then I hired...

Two different human professional editors, and we did complete edits of the entire manuscript.

So it was so much harder to do it this way.

I'm getting agitated, but it makes me a little crazy.

I bet.

Well, you carried a mediocre co-author.

It's not inherently mediocre.

If you go to your oncologist and you say, I did this analysis, me, your oncologist,

plus this AI analytical tool that's able to look at your genetics and your system's biology and make recommendations that are just beyond human analytics, you would say you're being a great doctor.

So for me, as a matter of principle, I wanted to be radically transparent about the nature of authorship.

I have a whole chapter on it, and I wanted GPT-5's name on the cover of the book, but I've run into a little bit of a buzzsaw.

And everybody who reads the book,

or listens to the book, says, this is a wonderful, fantastic book.

I didn't know GPT could write so well.

No, exactly.

And my next book is another novel.

It's coming out in February.

And I'm going back to Walden Pond, where I'm just emptying the depths of my soul.

It's such an essential question.
