Friend or foe

Artificial Intelligence is fast becoming the biggest game-changer of this century. I use it in my day job all the time. As a software engineer, it can save significant time and provide great assistance in correcting code and suggesting efficiencies. It’s excellent for summarising business documents as well. I even find I can recognise an AI-generated sentence over one crafted by a human.
So, to what extent should an author use AI? To be clear, I do not use AI to write my stories. The imagination, voice, and storytelling are entirely my own. AI has its place on many businesses as a research and productivity tool, but it cannot replace human creativity. My stories come from my own ideas, experiences, and writing style.
AI has its place. It’s a valuable tool, but it cannot replace the author. And it certainly does not give the gut-wrenching, brutally honest criticism that a real editor does!
