OCTOBER QUESTION: Many people are calling for writers who use AI to disclose it. Most who employ ghostwriters do not admit it--do you think authors who use ghostwriters should have to disclose that, too?
Yes, I would like authors who use "ghostwriters" to disclose that also. But at least, I'm hoping, they're using a real human "writer." Or are they?
Right now as writers we are facing a huge problem. Even if we self-publish on Amazon kindle or publish a physical print book, the only place an author has to admit he/she used AI is in the Amazon printing set-up instructions--and it is NOT visible or required inside the ebook or print book for sale. Can we rely on everyone to be honest even to an Amazon question?
Also, the market is now also being flooded by people using AI entirely to write their book and are making $$$$ for doing NO creative work, using a mix of AI chatbots and specialized writing programs and tools. I recently watched a video of an agency that, for $1900, will sell you a program that completely writes a book you can claim as your own and upload in less than a month.
I hate to say this--but sadly, I think the age of strictly "human-inspired written work" is coming to an end. I'm not worried about ghostwriters. I'm worried that real human writers will slowly become ghosts themselves.
SEPTEMBER 2 QUESTION: Do you have a favorite archetype you tend to gravitate toward in your writing?
I believe that my archetype is usually the "heroine huntress," meaning my females in my books are fiercely independent and focused--but are also courageous, resilience and can stand steady under pressure. They are not wimpy, whinny, and often stand up not only for themselves, but also for others. ~*~
A very sensible view, well argued. It's difficult to keep the faith when 'the market is being flooded', but I truly believe that our work will still appeal to people who want good writing and interesting plots, just like different genres of film appeal to different types of people. How we actually market to the right segment of the population is another matter. Perhaps we have to avoid places that AI users use?
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I agree with you, but since Amazon is the largest distributor of books and allows AI, it's sadly going to be an uphill climb to compete with it.
DeleteThe amount of AI books is just sad. They take away from all the hard work we put into writing.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I wonder if there is anyway to get ahead of AI? We have FaceBook writers' groups that try to help each other to get their books exposed and recognized, but they are generally limited to "other writers."
DeleteI'm not sure what we can do to change AI use by others -- except to support each other, read and review whenever we can, and continue to write. I have used AI to generate covers, but somehow using AI to write, revise, edit, or otherwise generate text just seems wrong. Thank you for your post here. We will persevere!
