Collaborating with AI


Let's suppose you are a writer and you have an idea for a novel, but you want to check out the validity of your thought.  With whom do you discuss this idea:  your teacher, your minister, your family, a neighbor, a close friend, or a co-worker?


What about AI (artificial intelligence)?


AI has the ability to almost instantly check data bases to see what else has been written, if anything, on this subject and give you a list of authors to research.


AI has the ability to become your devil's advocate as you discuss the pros and cons or your idea.  Once you have a list of the cons, you can use AI again, to come up with some ideas to circumvent the cons.


I have gotten into argument with AI over is there life after death, who created the human race, and if there really is a God.  When I present my argument, AI responds with all sorts of data, peoples, dates and times of statements that either support me or with statements that do not.


AI can provide a framework for a chapter in a novel, that you and AI can revise and rewrite countless times.  Once the chapter narration and dialogue has been decided upon, it is up to you, to put what was agreed upon in your own words, so that at least 60% has been written by you.


This is no different, than being in a writer's club and sharing a chapter or chapters with another member to critique, edit, or give you ideas.


Most professional writers come up with the original idea and the original writing, then send it to a professional editor to make it appropriate for publication.  Do these editors change 10%, 20%, 30%, 40% of the novel they have been given?


Even the main idea can be modified by the editors.


When I use AI, I make sure that 70-80% of the writing has been put into my words, leaving 20-30% falling into the category of THERE IS NO BETTER WAY TO SAY IT.
