I’m using AI a lot when it comes to the development of this novel I’m working on. And I will admit that I sometimes get lazy and just use what AI generates when it comes to copy.
But, I am so annoyed at the prospect of people assuming that AI wrote everything if they know that, that I am going to go through and make a deep pass on the text once I’m done. I’m going to use that pass to make sure the novel is in my voice as much as possible.
Now, obviously, this isn’t going to placate some people who hate AI. They will think that, by definition, just using AI at all is anathema to the “true” writing of a novel. But I compare what I’m doing to using a spell checker 30 years ago. I’m horrible at spelling and AI is just like using a spell checker back in the day.
There will come a point in the near future when people won’t be so touchy about AI usage for things like novel development. I hope.
