The author(in Video) is discussing why many authors are afraid of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its potential impact on their work. The main reasons for this fear are:
1. Emotional response: Many authors are driven by emotions rather than logic when it comes to AI. They feel that AI is "stealing" their work or replacing them, even if it's not actually the case.
2. Scarcity mindset: Authors with a scarcity mindset believe that there is a limited amount of success or resources available, and AI is seen as a threat to their livelihood. They fear that AI will replace them or make their work obsolete.
3. Lack of understanding: Many authors don't fully understand how AI works or the legal frameworks surrounding copyright and intellectual property. This lack of understanding fuels their fears and misconceptions about AI.
4. Fear of replacement: Authors are afraid that AI will replace them, making their skills and experience obsolete.
The author argues that AI is not inherently bad and can actually be a powerful tool for creators. By embracing AI and understanding its capabilities, authors can use it to augment their work and achieve more than they could without it.
The author also distinguishes between two mindsets:
1. Scarcity mindset: Fears that there is not enough to go around and that AI will take away opportunities.
2. Abundance mindset: Sees AI as an opportunity to do more and achieve greater things by leveraging its capabilities.
By adopting an abundance mindset, authors can focus on the opportunities AI presents, rather than fearing its potential threats.
