August 7 question - Do you use AI in your writing, and if so, how? Do you use it for your posts? Incorporate it into your stories? Use it for research? Audio?
I don't and never will use AI to write my stories for me. I primarily use it to generate writing prompts and ideas. I have used AutoCrit, Claude, and QuickWrite for this function.
You know those really bad shifter romances available on certain phone apps? My son and I decided that most of those are probably written by AI.
I could go off about the state of genre publishing, but why would I when Rick Partlow does a much better job of it?

I've used AI to help me write information-based blog posts, so yes, I do use it for research. I've used Claude for this function and there's also a search engine called paradox.ai. For outlining, I primarily use QuickWrite. For helping tighten up the text, I mostly use WordTune. I also use Hemingway to help me make things more concise because I tend to go on and on and on and on.
I use AI to help me come up with book titles because I suck at coming up with titles.
I use AI to help me write proto-blurbs because I also suck at writing blurbs.
I use AI to create pictures of my characters because it helps make writing fun again, rather than the task it's often become since I decided to make writing a profession rather than a hobby. I primarily use Pixlr or QuickWrite for this function.
I use several AI editing programs. Okay, I use all the editing programs to one degree or another. AutoCrit and WordTune do the heavy lifting, but I use both Grammarly and ProWritingAid as adjuncts.
For clarification, AutoCrit is a multi-faceted platform, not just an editing program.
You can check out three of my favorite programs below.
AutoCrit
AutoCrit changed the way I write and the way I edit. I have a lifetime membership.
Hemingway

Hemingway isn't an editor like Grammarly, ProWritingAid, or WordTune. It helps you make your writing more concise.
QuickWrite
QuickWrite has its quirks, but I mostly like it. I have a lifetime membership. Here's a hint. If you want an erotica writing prompt, phrase it as "steamy romance." QuickWrite will scold you if you ask it to help you write erotica. It also scolded me for asking it to write a description of a banshee, telling me I shouldn't believe in evil supernatural creatures.
