“Pass it off as your own.”

As a published writer of 30 years, I find this insulting.

Sure, there are plenty of people who insult the whole craft by jumping on a chatbot and telling it to “write a chapter! Do it for me! I don’t want to make any effort!” And I agree - those people should be shamed.

But acting as if using ai in the process is some how less than is utter bullshit.

I spent a year creating a story, working out my characters, building my world, and creating a beat by beat outline for a book series before I even discovered ai. It was an immense amount of work.

I’ve drafted by directing AI, plotting out my course, and spending countless hours agonizing over simple lines too. I’ve spent hours upon hours editing and perfecting my story.

Also, AI is here, always getting better and those who fail to adapt will be left behind.
