Well, if I am going to push this into the project I envision, privacy is going to be key, so everything will be done locally.

Reasonable! And yes languagetool has some online AI thing, probably a junky wrapper around an LLM API TBH.


One thing I’d be wary of is… well, showing you’re using AI?

As a random example, I helped clean up a TV show a long time ago, with mixed results. More recently, I brought the idea of making another attempt to the fandom, and got banned for even considering “AI,” with most of them clearly oblivious to how the original restoration was made… I have a little personal writing project going too, and wouldn’t dare bring it up to the fandom either.

I don’t know what’s involved in your project, but be aware that you may get some very hostile interaction if it’s apparent you use diffusion models and LLMs as helpers.

I've been planning for two years now on how to successfully put this together.

First thing I realised I would have to learn is tools like Blender, Gimp (which I will likely replace with Krita), etc. cause regardless of how well AI produces, you need to tidy things up.

Then there is story boarding. No amount of AI can replace professionalism. So this is an important skill to have.

Then there are the layouts. All that. I learnt how to use Scribus for layouts and Inkscape is always handy.

My main struggle will be maintaining consistency which has improved consistently over the last two years, and I've been reading a ton of comics to learn the sort of views and angles they use.

I can't allow AI to generate text for me, cause that loses the plot. I might as well just prompt a story up and put it on Amazon and move on. I don't want to do that. Instead I let it suggest better phrasing, words, basically a better editor.

I also created my own theme and it, very nicely, points out when I lose the plot. I then ask it to point out where my story sucks and it will also point that out. If I run my text through an AI text detector, I get like 1-2% written by AI which I believe any AI language tool would do. It points out where it detects the AI written text and I work on it and remove the text. GPT has a habit of adding its own text and does not stick to the boundaries set.
