My latest plan is this: I’m going to go through and color correct my novel then make another pass where I really go out of my way to eliminate any sense of “AI speak” from the text.
I may even get to the point where I totally rewrite scenes simply to make them sound more human, if need be.
I thought I had it all figured out. I was going to tell AI to “gently” edit my copy and that would replace the need for a human editor. But now, alas, every time I read that gently edited copy “AI speak” seems to have creeped into the an unacceptable degree.
I still have some slack in the planned chronology of events leading up to me actually querying this novel, so I think I can actually sit down and rewrite scenes as necessary once I get to that point.
But I’m feeling hyper aware of AI’s influence on my work ever since the situation with the Shy Girl novel came to the fore. Anyway, wish me luck, I guess.
