I'm against AI slop, but I can see it being used effectively as a creative tool to take the grunt work out of creative works.
For example, one of my aunts is a published author and she has taken to using AI as an editorial assistant.
In her words:
"Speaking of AIs, I'm using ChatGPT as a story editor, assisting me with matters such as voice, tone, structure, plotting, cadence, pacing, character development, etc. It's like working with an extremely intelligent and knowledgeable human story editor. Better, because it's free; a human equivalent would cost a lot, perhaps thousands."
To be clear, she still does all the writing, ChatGPT is merely offering editorial advice. I could see providing it a text and asking it to show every case where tense is mismatched, or any shifts from 1st person to 3rd person, that kind of thing.
At that point is it really any worse than an advanced spell or grammar checker?
You gotta be careful with that. If human writers use AI editing tools, the end results can get flagged as AI-generated. There's also some question about how much/little AI-use is ok. Source:
