The experiments I've seen in my day job, show that it'll give blatantly false information on some topics (which makes sense, since it pulls information from the internet, which definitely offers false information on many topics alongside the accurate information).

I love doing research for my writing, so I think of AI as research and then I filter down through all of those AI notes to find the golden nuggets I can use. Much like looking up websites and books for facts. But that would be for my nonfiction books and essays. When it comes to creative writing, AI is not even summoned once. J.Q.

Absolutely agree with this! I also think that we learn and digest our story during first drafts. New ideas and plots twists can jump out at us. This are organically ours. I can't imagine reading a "first draft" that a computer wrote, and feeling detached from it. Good luck with your writing!

Right now, AI prompting including for artwork is this odd trial and error of finding the right combination of words to force the programming to give a result we want.
