Seven Degrees Left of Center

AI?

I have struggled to complete my novel. Today, I broke down and tested AI-assisted writing. It accomplished two things. One, my vision of a complete story is now realized. Two, I feel even more fake as a writer than before.

The other thing I proved is that anyone can prompt AI to write junk. This is even more disheartening because the story I generated reads much like the books I read. So, now I question how much AI is being used.
