Question for writers.... or anyone I guess.
What are your thoughts on using Ai as a tool for writing?
So I've been chatting it up with chatgtp late at night when I cant sleep, and I found it super useful for working out details of my novel. I'm being careful not to use it as a tool to write the novel FOR me, but to just talk openly with what is essentially a conversative search engine has opened up my eyes to some new ideas.
@DanIsWriting Nope. Absolutely not. It was created using people's intellectual property without their permission, and I don't condone that taking of someone's IP. No matter what.
@joycereynoldsward actually it doesn't. Its a language modeling program that generates responses based on speech behaviors from its training data. But thats how language works, its like saying that something is plagiarism because you formed a sentence using words you have heard before and sentence structure from hearing people speak.
This is not to be confused with ai image generation that uses stable diffusion, which approximates an image from keywords from its training data of images
@joycereynoldsward also I was very clear in stating that I wasn't using it as a way to generate the content of my writing, but using it as a way to discuss ideas and work out details.
Which would be like saying that having a conversation with someone and then forming your own ideas based on that conversation is plagiarism.
@DanIsWriting I still would not use it for anything connected to fiction. It is far too easy for phrasings to slip in that aren't your own.
