🌸 P.S. Follow the guide on my experiment writing fiction with AI—it includes a list of all the posts about it.

When AI first came out, like all other writers, I was pissed off that our work was used to train an LLM model that would replace what made us valuable and special.

Despite all the arguments that LLMs won’t replace actual writers, you bet your socks that some companies and individuals would try.

However, I am a realist, and also a tech nerd, so I began pushing buttons to see what the fuss was all about.

What I found for myself was that AI (LLMs, anyway) gave me relief.

A lot of it.

And it may have also solved a decades-old problem that I’ve had with writing fiction.

The struggle

I have a habit of writing stories just to entertain myself. I have zero interest to sell or even distribute these stories for others to read.

I do this because I am tired of searching or waiting for people to write stories I want to read. So, I thought the most efficient way was to write the story myself.

But I’ve always had this one big problem when it comes to writing fiction.
