I saw on Tik-Tok today some woman who was absolutely clear that AI could not be used in novel development. You could use AI to learn structure, etc, but you couldn’t actually use it to impliment it.
Oh boy.
Don’t quite know what to do about that.
I’m of the opinion that AI is like a spellchecker was 30 years ago. There probably were people who said you can use spellcheck to “help you learn to spell” but when it came to actually writing, you were forbidden from using it.
It’s all too late, for me, even if I wanted to change things. AI is too much a part of my workflow and I’m pretty strict about making sure that what is actually on the page is mine.
It took a while, but I figured out how to use AI in my workflow in such a way that all the text on the page is mine, even if a lot of the backend stuff that readers never see or know about is aided by AI.
Only time will tell if anyone is cool with that.
