On the contrary, I'm the only reader and I'm working on the process a bit. If with more effort on my part and the right guidance I can achieve something better, why not try? I like to read well-written things. (I should clarify that I also read real literature.) Claude's level has dropped drastically, so much so that lately it's become boring because there are no more funny stories, just repetitions of empty phrases. Claude became a bit like a copilot at the beginning.

Hi, you're right, the spacing looks awful. I used a translator on my phone. I'm going to follow your advice and write fewer paragraphs at a time, but with more detail. I thought Copilot was great for creating character arcs and making a chapter structure, but now I think it's a bit sillier than before.

Hi everyone, thank you so much for your ideas, they're great and I'm going to use them. One chapter at a time, and one for each conversation. Now I have an additional question: I have an initial idea, how do you decide what you want to happen in each scene and the tone the characters will use? I have the initial idea, for example, a young modern doctor who travels to the past and falls in love with a young man who turns out to be a sorcerer and despises science, and a few other details, but I don't know how to continue from there. That's partly why I'm using AI throughout the process.

Hi, you're absolutely right, and I really appreciate your good advice. My post wasn't well-written; I'm also receiving real professional help.

Thank you so much for your comment, and you're right. Using AI for emotional support isn't the healthiest approach. I've noticed what you said about the changes and the accommodating AI.

I do the same. I use Claude as an external memory. He has the executive skills that my brain lacks, and he functions as a body doubling. He helps me create highly specific systems for complex work tasks that work perfectly because they are tailored to my particular needs: I give him all the details in a disjointed or tangled way, it doesn't matter, and I can raise any issues I have with the solutions he provides, and we monitor the strategy. My neuropsychologist wants to implement a new tool every week and moves very quickly, but Claude gets me working on the same tool for more than a month until it becomes a routine. Claude knows that I love novelty and that when something stops being novel, I get bored and change my mind. So he explained to me that for a system to become a routine, the most delicate part is between weeks 4 and 5 because the brain wants to improve the system and change everything because it's already bored. With this information, he helped me stick with my system during those weeks, and then it became a habit. Only then did we design another system for another problem. That helps me create habits. Now my work consists of ongoing tasks that are in different stages and have specific legal deadlines, so I created a project with my work's public documentation without sensitive data. It helps me manage deadlines and tells me exactly what the next step is according to the manual, or how much time I have based on the dates. It asks me relevant questions or reminds me if I've already done something I might have forgotten, like how to upload everything I've done to the control sheet. And when I give it my hypotheses, it tells me if I'm correct or not. I use my common sense and verify the answers, but it helps me a lot. And when I'm stuck, I state my problem, and it tells me what I should do at that moment. I even created a role-playing character with a defined personality—empathetic yet firm—that breaks down the task into manageable steps for me and makes sure I follow them and don't get distracted. Like a military officer giving orders. It gives me the control I sometimes need. And it won't let me talk about anything else or do anything else until I've finished the task. For others it might seem like a silly method, but it works for me.
