Is it cheating if I use AI to write out certain parts where I'm not sure how to write?
No. Its a tool like anything else. I use chat gpt all the time to reword and grammar check what I've written. Hell I've used it to describe certain creatures for me. I put it in the same category as grammarly or pro writing aid. They are tools to make your writing better.Is it cheating if I use AI to write out certain parts where I'm not sure how to write?
I don't think so. English is my 4th language, and sometimes its hard to translate from my native (Martian) to english. I used AI to help me better express emotion or fix my broken grammar. It also greatly help me in editing cuz I have severe case of dyslexia.Is it cheating if I use AI to write out certain parts where I'm not sure how to write?
nuh uh. I mean, who cares? as long as it's good, it's goodIs it cheating if I use AI to write out certain parts where I'm not sure how to write?
I feel insulted......somehowLook. The problem is the AI is not an AI. It's a fake AI. It is nothing more than an oversized search engine.
If you end up mostly using AI to write, it's against the rules to post it on this site. So if those certain parts are the majority of it, probably cheating to post it here, since cheating is not following the rules, but using it a little is not against the rules, and therefore not cheating.
IMO AI should more realistically be called a Pattern Matching Engines or something IMO-- it's not thinking on it's own, it's trying to emulate a pattern it's been shown. This is a complex process, but in the end it's randomly rehashing things together in an attempt to 'look like a thing a human wrote that continues the pattern it's been given'. (This is why AI-run cars and similar ideas conceptually terrify me.)
This can help you if you aren't sure how to put words together or the 'normal' way a story would continue from the current point, but I do think you're better off using Tarot or Tao Te Ching or a random pages on TVtropes or drawing from RL or basically any other form of story randomization for considering new ideas for your story, because since AI is doing it's best to match patterns, it's literally trying not to be original.
I don't use it, never really felt the need... but maybe I should use it for editing, given that both myself and my readers have been catching me making mistakes, some of which it could probably help with.
I use AI for research. If I need certain facts or descriptions of how things were, then it's a pretty handy tool, but I wouldn't be proud of my work if I let it write out parts for me, so I don't do that.
Ooh! I didn't know those were names for it, I just thought AI was a misnomer. I learned something today!Sticking with its regular name, Generative Pre-trained Transformer or large language model is fine. Changing all of AI into Pattern Matching betrays the desire to create artificial general intelligence. Otherwise, what's written here is very important. It's not trying to be original.
Tarot gives you vague story kernels that can be interpreted in multiple ways, which I think is better than 'try to match the pattern of continuing the story' for leading your story in interesting directions... but to be fair, I haven't used GPT for story generation much other than messing around with AI Dungeon a while back, so not the most knowledgable on the subject.Actually, I would say GPT is better than Tarot
