About AI reviews:
Will AI read one chapter of a book and advise me helpfully about arc, plot or character development? I don’t see how that’s possible, so it’ll be a very limited, narrow review. Can it tell me if my story is “good”?
About AI writing books:
Can AI be creative and unique? Can it describe epiphanies, revelations, sympathy, empathy and emotions? Does AI have talent or creativity? Can it rant?
Frankly, the idea of using AI to write a book sickens me. It removes the unique artist and replaces it with a conglomeration of stored talent, grammatical rules and traditional structure.
I’m with you on this, Vern. AI generated stories may eventually overwhelm human talent. And I’m definitely with you, Dirk. How many ground-breaking, unique classics would have made it by the AI reviews? Ulysses, Gulliver’s Travels, Tropic of Cancer, etc, etc, etc…
However, I can see it making a manuscript easier to read. It’s a cheat, for sure, replacing human talent, but helpful in that regard. I guess it could replace human editors, which is a depressing notion if you’re a pro editor.
We don’t have much choice but to live with this “progress.”
