Why use AI to write your "book"?

Still the worst ink ever was from a pen in the 80s that was new then called an eraser mate. Right handed people loved the darn thing. Me? It was a cylindrical torture device.Ah yes! The claw hand.

More smear than ink and my wrist was even black.

I'm right handed and had that problem too. Made my already bad handwriting 10x worse.
I was shocked to learn they have erasable pens out now that are actually decent writing tools (would not believe it if my wife didn't own a few). Cost about $4 each but they work as advertised.

You don't mind they existing or don't mind reading them?

I use AI to edit cause my prose is messy, rambling and chaotic. I actually remember the first time I used GPT to help me clean up the first paragraph of my chapter and I was kind of astonished at just how nice everything looked. So I just kept working with it paragraph after paragraph. It actually started teaching me a lot of stuff working along side it. If you compared my RAW original chapter to my RAW rewrite of chapter 1, the flow, the plot and detail integration, it's all a lot more coherent and detailed, even before I edit it.
On RR I actually have both stories up now. The AI edited version and the RAW untouched version. More of an experiment now to see what people might think. I'd like to do the same thing here but the rules are much stricter.

No comments yet, lol but strangely the growth of the raw version outpaced the AI edited version so far from the early chapters. I'm still compiling all the old raw chapters because all the old paragraphs are basically pushed down to the very bottom of my 200k word document that I have to rearrange into actual readable content again. I also don't really advertise much or go on the forums there that often, But I'll give ya an update if I ever get some feedback. I did get a comment on my side story once, which only has an AI-Assisted edit on RR, and they liked it.

It's getting harder and harder for me to spot AI so my question will eventually become a moot point. Especially when some of these sites online have a "humanize" feature that will make AI look human.
I'm still not a fan of it, even for editing. I'd rather read something all human that is slightly messy, than something that just feels sanitized.

On Substack, a writer asked ChatGPT to write a review of a movie that didn't exist (but he'd detailed for a project) in his style. The only way to tell the review AI came up with from his was that AI sugarcoated everything - made the positive points more positive, and put positive spins on the negative ones. Otherwise it looked exactly like what he would write.

That is way to creepy. I know the genie is out of the bottle, but I fear this genie isn't a good one. I mean what's the point of teaching grammar if you can just tell a computer what you want? Spelling is already not reinforced thanks to every basic word processor. Everyday speech doesn't calm within the parameters of needing formality.
I guess I don't get it. Which is why I started the topic in the first place. ?

The thing is that it does not - but corporate execs really want it to and are more interested with the bottom line than with reality.
Is this website really useful? Because I did use ChatGPT for assistance, especially when creating an appropriate word for some terms in my supernatural novels (my vocabulary is not large enough for me to complete this task), but it failed to detect that my novel used ai.

No, it's not.
All "ai checkers" are shit that can be easily misguided either way. Never trust them.
Only way of being sure about it it's by reading it yourself. Machine is always perfect, it will feel unnatural and flat. Easy to spot if you read enough books.
