  <title>[#31] AI Probably Ripped Off My Book. Here’s Why I’m Not Mad</title>
  <description> Last week, my friend Lauren texted me about a book online that looked exactly like mine. Same orange cover. Same font. Same little black sticker. Different name on the spine.  Turns out &amp;quot;Dave Stone&amp;quot; has been pumping out AI-generated knockoffs by the dozen. I should have been furious. I wasn't. I was tired.  In this issue of the Mike Kim Letter, I unpack what I'm calling visibility fatigue — the exhaustion of trying to be everywhere, all the time, all at once, while AI bots run circles around you on the same treadmill.  We'll get into:   Why the volume game is unwinnable (and why even YouTube and Amazon are losing it)&amp;amp;nbsp;  What the rise of AI knockoffs is actually telling us about trust, substance, and personal brand&amp;amp;nbsp;  The Shohei Ohtani question: are you trying to be a five-tool player when the lineup needs you in one specific spot?  Why I wrote this issue with pencil and paper — and why it turned out infinitely better  The one question to ask yourself this week:&amp;amp;nbsp;Where does your voice actually come alive?   This is part 2 of a 3-part series on the forces reshaping what it means to build trust, credibility, and a body of work in the AI era.  Read part 1,&amp;amp;nbsp;The Tabloidization of the Internet.  Part 3,&amp;amp;nbsp;The Great Letting Go, drops next week.
