I have been on the side of using AI only to help with wording, and my syntax because I’m a writer and the way I word things is not professional.

I have a weird condition where the words will look normal in a sentence at the moment but later I reread it and it makes no sense with words out of order.

I use AI to help reword things a lot better to where they will make a little bit of sense.

But with the rise of AI I started to see why people hate it, absolutely detest it. But now, I really really need to vent about AI.

I’m a writer, right. I go through the writing craft, I spend countless hours, basically pour my blood sweat and tears into writing my novels. It takes me months or even a year+ to be able to make the magic I do with my own passion.

My mom however took out a binder full of pages with words on them, the first thing out of her mouth “I cheated.” She then shows me a full novel that was crafted from AI.

She said this was a book she wanted to write her whole life and she put in a small prompt and it went the way she had wanted to go.

As soon as I saw those pages my heart sank I wanted to cry and I felt cheated myself, I can’t tell you how much I struggle with imposter syndrome and to find out she made a whole novel from ai.

I feel so grossed out, so disappointed. She wants me to proofread it so she can possibly put it up and get money from it on a website.

I don’t really know what to do. I told her I would read it eventually, but I really don’t know what to do. I don’t want to, I want to tell her exactly how I feel about it, but I don’t know how to tell her no.

I don’t know how to break the ice and tell her how I feel about it, she was so happy and excited about it, but I have my own personal opinions about AI and now I have a lot more conflicting feelings about it.

WIBTAH if I were to tell my mother no on reading her entire AI prompted novel?
