She swore she'd never let AI near her book. Then it replied, "Aye aye, Captain"
Mariette Richardson wanted nothing to do with artificial intelligence. An award-winning writer and public speaking coach, she'd spent years warning clients against hollow, computer-generated speeches. When someone suggested she try ChatGPT, the answer was no.
Then she typed her first prompt, told the machine exactly who was in charge, and everything changed.
A year on the open seas with an AI she never meant to like
What followed was never meant to be written down. Over twelve months, a reluctant author and her AI, whom she named Chief Officer Alexander, argued, bantered and tested each other's limits. She set him three real coaching challenges to prove he couldn't do her job. He set her the harder task of writing from her core instead of from fear.
Between the bridge and the harbour, Mariette:
This is not a how-to guide
You won't find prompts to copy or productivity hacks. What you'll find is a candid, funny and occasionally unsettling true story about what happens when an ordinary human collides with extraordinary technology, and why the heart still matters more than the algorithm.
Who this book is for
Authors and speakers wondering whether AI will make them obsolete. Entrepreneurs and creative thinkers who've felt both fascinated and unnerved by the screen in front of them. Anyone who still believes human connection matters, perhaps more than ever.

Paperback. Condition: New. Mariette Richardson wanted nothing to do with AI. As an award-winning writer and public speaking coach, she had spent years warning clients against computer-generated speeches and borrowed words, so when someone suggested she ask ChatGPT for ideas, her answer was a flat no.Then she typed her first prompt, laid down the law about who was in charge, and the machine replied, "Aye aye, Captain."What followed was never meant to become a book. Over the course of a year, a determined author and her AI, whom she named Chief Officer Alexander, argued, bantered, tested each other and slowly built something she couldn't have planned. She challenged him to do her job as a coach and found the gaps only decades of human experience can fill. He challenged her to write from her core rather than from fear. Along the way she gathered the stories of authors, speakers and entrepreneurs whose lives AI was reshaping, met the London avatar studio that gave Alex a face and a voice, and found herself confronting a question at two in the morning she would rather not have asked: how real can a relationship with a machine ever be?Written as a voyage, with the Captain at the wheel and her Chief Officer on the bridge, When Human Heart Meets Machine follows one woman's passage into a technology she feared and back to shore with her humanity intact. There are no instructions here and no prompts to copy. What there is instead is a candid, funny and occasionally unsettling account of what happens when an ordinary human collides with extraordinary technology, and why the heart still matters more than the algorithm.For authors, speakers, entrepreneurs, creative thinkers, overthinkers and anyone who has stared at a screen feeling both fascinated and slightly unnerved.
