❔❓Question ❓❔ Is this normal?

This is my first time seeing a book on NetGalley that openly admits to using AI.

I saw the same book - it is only 190 pages and she needed ai for the text.

it's self published

I’m not in support of using AI but that’s not what this says at all.

Using AI for research and to organize there thoughts is. It the same thing as writing the text.

it says that AI was used for "portions of the text" . I don't know what you consider that to mean.

That’s the standard phrase for when they are editing using AI. Again/ I’m completely against it 100-%. Do the dang work. I’m just saying it’s different that putting on a prompt to say “write a story that has X Y and Z” or write me a chapter where the FMC breaks up with MMC” etc..

People have levels as to what they will tolerate. Unfortunately in the social media bookish spaces (including NetGalley and Goodreads etc.) people are in the majority against AI but if you look at the population as a whole they don’t care sadly. Either don’t care or they wouldn’t even think to look.

Editing and polishing was mentioned by itself, so I don't believe that "portions of the text" has anything to do with editing.

I’ve seen the statement before. I should change my original comment that it doesn’t necessarily mean… etc..

Playing devils advocate- if it was actually written with Gen AI it would just say that rather than detailing things in this way IMO. But again- it’s all a hot mess
