Let me be clear — AGAIN: I have written this novel. But I will also admit that I have used it a lot in its development and editing. So, I can see how AI writing programs might go off should it ever get fed into one.

But I did a lot of work, I swear!
I just see AI as a writing tool, like a typewriter. Or maybe a spell check.
And, yet, I totally get why there is a huge taboo about AI writing if you try to traditionally publish a novel. If there isn’t the taboo, then assholes will use AI to write a novel based just on an idea.
They won’t actually do any work.
It just…I worry that all my hard work will be overlooked just because of the way I use AI. And, yet, who knows. As I’ve mentioned before, all I have is my gut on this one.
And my gut tells me I should be in the clear, ultimately.
