Posts about using AI in real writing work, where it helps, where it fails, and how to keep your voice intact. These cover the practical side of writing with machines, not the hype. Read these before you let a chatbot near your book.
AI TransparencyPublishing spent 2026 cancelling books over suspected AI use, on evidence that amounts to a detection score and a bad feeling about the prose. Detection tools measure polish, and polish is what a professional edit produces. Three questions would do…
