I like to use AI for editing purposes, but you have to be careful how you ask it to edit. If you are not careful it starts changing your story. I think some people ask it to edit then copy and paste and they are done, but you need to read that final edit and make sure it's really your words and it only edited it and didn't write for you.

Thanks so much for this interview - it gave me a lot of hope actually.

Blogs are dead, or dying. Too many people with little to say all blogging. AI is a tool we will all use, especially writers. Sure AI is HATED in the writing world, but it too great a genie. Using AI for fun, I'd say it can write at the 6th-grade level. (54% of adults have a literacy below a 6th-grade level.20% are below 5th-grade level). When a major writing contest is won...and it is coming... using AI, all is lost.
