I’m trying to be as careful as possible when it comes to using AI to develop this new scifi novel I’m working on. I think what I’m going to do is give myself a little bit of a pass with the first draft, but the second draft I’m going to totally rewrite everything so the any AI generated text will be eliminated.
At least, that’s the goal.
I use AI to write general blog posts all the time because it’s just so easy to do. But when it comes to writing fiction, I just can’t bring myself to “cheat” that much. I want to be evaluated on my own, actual writing ability, not the idealized version of the copy that a (very good) AI has written.
In fact, I feel kind of sad that my writing isn’t as good as, say, ClaudeLLM or GeminiLLM. But I do use their superior writing abilities to improve my own writing. I use them as literary consultants. They ask some really tough questions on a regular basis and I find myself struggling to improve because of that, but that’s for the best.
