i think i’ve read at least 5 books in the last few days which have used AI, and i wouldn’t have known if authors hadn’t accidentally left the ai script in, so i can only imagine how many i’ve read within the last year that have also been using it. i’m lowkey really disappointed as there was once a time where authors were authentic and would write their own books and do so amazingly without the use of AI. i can understand using it to correct your grammar and spelling or even rewording a few phrases, but tbh even that is something that can be done urself. using it to write ur entire book completely defeats the purpose of being a writer. i think it’s even worse when an author starts off writing the book themselves and then later starts using ai, because it shows they are capable of writing but are doubting their own abilities. writings not for everyone and although you may have amazing ideas, i don’t see the point in sharing if ur gonna use ai to write ur books, it lacks authenticity. there’s something so real and beautiful about a writer articulating their ideas into wonderful writing, even if there’s a bunch of spelling mistakes or errors. i’ve read books from writers where english isn’t their first language and they’ve written it so well despite the language difficulties and they haven’t used ai. let’s not forget about the fact that it’s so damaging for the environment. it’s so disappointing
