Women have struggled for decades, earning less than men in the same jobs. They have also been stuck in low-paying professions. Now, artificial intelligence is coming for what jobs they have. AI looks set to hit women harder than men in specific industries. But Karla Marie wants to guide women to take control of their own destinies while there's still time to make a decision.
"So obviously, these imbalances did not lend themselves to female well-being," Marie says. "And that's where we come in and say, 'Hey, you know, we're at a crossroads here with AI, which is only going to make life even worse for women. And even more problematic.'"
Marie, founder of Fiction Profits Academy, tells women to refuse to be victims of AI and instead learn how to use it for their own benefit. And, Karla says, women need to work for themselves, set their own hours, and make good money, and her program can show them how to do it.
"We're using AI to get on the right side of that AI divide that's going to break out," Karla says, "There are going to be the haves and have-nots in terms of who has taken advantage of AI who has not. And the big secret is: you don't need tech skills to use AI. It's super user-friendly."
Karla Marie founded Fiction Profits Academy in 2015 after years of earning six figures from publishing fiction novels using ghostwriters.
Her online academy instructs women on how to be successful entrepreneurs by selling ebooks on Amazon. But hold on, she says, you don't have to be creative or tech-savvy to do it.
"I'm not particularly creative. I don't have tech skills," Karla says. "There's nothing in me that's, quote-unquote, 'special' that allowed me to create my business, the publishing business I created for myself. It was all stemming from my belief and then me taking inspired action from that place of confidence. So yeah, mindset is 100 percent."
And this is where AI comes in. Marie started out using ghostwriters to write the actual books that she then sold under pseudonyms. Now, she's looking at the possibility of AI doing the writing instead. Fiction Profits Academy's coaches teach students to use AI for cover and advertising images, as well as descriptions and story plotting.
"We've worked with some of the world's top software engineers to actually create a proprietary AI suite of tools for Fiction Profits Academy," Kayla says. "Very soon, the actual whole book is going to be completed by AI, and then we can use AI to edit that book."
"With AI coming in, people are scared, terrified of AI. They think this is going to put them in isolation. There's like fear-mongering around that. And I want to show people that AI doesn't need to be that way. This is an amazing tool that you can use to shift and transform your life."
Karla also says the upcoming process to package ebooks using AI is really no different than what she did initially. She studied what kinds of books sold on Amazon, what were the similarities in theme and plot, and that sort of thing. And then she paid someone else to do the actual writing. But the difference now is that AI does it so much quicker than people can.
Karla Marie is optimistic about the future with AI-driven creativity doing the hard work for people. It's the progression of what she's been working for all along, giving women the chance to take charge of their lives and earn the kind of living they deserve.
