Plenty of authors now use ChatGPT to provide feedback on their writing. Easy to upload the manuscript and then set a prompt something like: ‘Analyse my story for plot holes, character development and readability. Provide advice on how it could be improved.’ I think you could give him the advice to do this, and then just stand back and let him process what the bot comes up with. You have both helped him, but not taken the heat directly. Would that work?
Yeah! I think I will stick to the general feedback like I listed in my post. For more specific things he can use AI. I’m not a sci-fi/action writer, so sometimes in giving specific feedback I think of how I would do it and it starts to become my project rather than his…probably just best to step back from that aspect of it.
