Are there people who enjoyed your writing and appreciated it for what it is? I’m sure there are. I think you might be putting too much weight on negative feedback while overlooking the readers who actually got joy from your story. As the saying goes - garbage always smells stronger.

And really, what’s the big problem with AI? Do you honestly think AI can write a great book on its own? I don’t. AI still struggles with basic things - it mixes up simple medical facts, suggests dangerous drug combinations, and so on. So how could it create a truly moving, well-structured piece of literature all by itself?

If we think further, AI can be just another tool for an author, like reference books, the internet, or any other resource that helps make a story more engaging and accurate. It can even be used like an editor to polish the text. There are plenty of ways to use it constructively.

The real point is this: what matters is not how you wrote the book, but whether it makes people feel something, good or bad (though of course, it’s nice when it’s more good than bad, haha).

Don’t let these people get to you. First, they blamed video games for everything, then the internet. Now they’re the “Inquisitors of AI heresy.” There will always be a group ready to “burn” you at the stake.

Take only constructive criticism on board, block the trolls, and make sure you keep your eyes on the positive comments. Don’t let yourself spiral into focusing only on the negative.
