    Pretty dumb analogy. The musicians are still writing the songs & music - all they’re automating is the playing of their creations. OP is talking about taking the human out of the creative process itself, not the recitation of the work.

      The op only said “writers are crazy if they’re not using AI these days”. If that means using AI to write your story then yes it’s bad. If it means using AI to research your story or outline your story or make a schedule/game plan for writing (in a similar way that musicians use computers to compose the music they otherwise play themselves). Well, that can still be bad but if they still write the words themselves it’s definitely different.

      Doesn’t seem like you’re familiar with the tools available in stuff like Ableton, the most popular DAW, or how the music industry works as a whole. And neither scenario is taking the human out of the creative process

      OP is. It’s not clear that the author she blocked is. “Using AI” doesn’t mean “having AI write for you”. Plenty of authors just use it as a research aide or a sounding board. Plus, it’s a great way to learn which phrases to never use again.

        I’ve upvoted for having the bravery to speak the true possibilities in here, but I would say the odds are kinda strongly against what you suggest.

          Appreciate it. Also in fairness, I’ve definitely run into published books written by supposed specialists that are obviously 200 pages of AI prose (probably based on a 10 page essay).

          I’m writing something for for the first time doing exactly these things. It hasn’t written one word for me, but it has suggested to me what words could maybe be better words if I can think of those words. (Editing advice, preliminary only, nothing meant to be final)

          I really don’t understand why they don’t market it for these things instead of just writing for you.
