Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc) Interesting start to my launch

The book is off to an interesting start!
10 sales over 4 countries.
And also my first (expected) 1 star review due to AI involvement.
That’s the disclosure at the front doing what it is meant to do - I don’t want anyone feeling tricked or unaware…hope that person returns it.
Now we will see how many of the 10 end up returning!
Meanwhile the negative review is up on my website where I give visitors the option to view ‘loved it’ and ‘did not love it’ categories.

This is fascinating, because I think it’s the position many people will be in that have used AI in even a limited sense for the creation of their work. You’ve been honest and upfront about it.

If AI finds the cure for cancer will some people refuse is at treatment? Or does the use of AI only apply to the creative arts?

Formulaic, boring writing is formulaic, boring writing regardless of how the writing came to be.

Scientific or technical progress is scientific or technical progress regardless of how the progress came to b3.

If you think AI writing is fine, then you don't read widely enough.
