This is a great thread! I’m currently working on a project that edits AI, slop. And it is slop, however, underneath the puzzling similes and over used metaphors is a story. I’ve discovered that most times the story is worth unearthing if it is you story. And that’s the key. You cannot simply tell Claude or any other AI to write me a great mystery or romance novel. But if you use your imagination, outline, and prompt well you’ll have a solid working draft. It’ll be shit, but at least it something worth working with.

The other thing I’ve discovered is the people using AI to write and do not edit are the people who don’t do one thing…Read. So they don’t know the a paragraph becomes cringe after a bizarre metaphor. What is does isn’t wrong, but that doesn’t make it right. I agree with Mr. Kang, but I believe the future of the publishing industry will include human edited AI stories. We just haven’t gotten there yet.
