Today’s guest, Carma Spence, multi-time best-selling, award-winning author and book marketing strategist, helps coaches, consultants, and nonfiction experts turn their books into engines for authority and client attraction by using AI ethically and intelligently across the entire author journey. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Carma shares insights from her upcoming book “Author Ignition,” which gives authors the confidence, clarity, and strategy to treat AI as a creative ally rather than a threat. She and Robert break down what ethical AI use really looks like for authors, why AI detectors are unreliable and often wrong, and how to avoid publishing bland, generic “AI slop” while still taking full advantage of the technology. Carma explains how she weaves AI into her “Road Trip to Authority” signature program, using it at every stage of the book journey to help writers move past the friction points that usually derail projects.

They zoom out to the bigger landscape too, looking at the backlash against AI, the mob mentality around calling everything “AI slop,” and the parallels to the early days of self-publishing when quality was questioned but the market eventually matured.
