Personal writing projects.
WHERE IT HELPS
Getting past a blank page Structuring something long Editing and tightening Feedback on a draft
FOR FEEDBACK
"Here is a chapter. What is not working? Be specific."
Ask for problems, not praise. It will praise by default.
FOR STRUCTURE
"Here is my outline. What is missing? Where does the structure sag?"
WHAT IT DOES BADLY
Fiction. Plot and prose both come out formulaic.
Voice. It cannot sustain yours across a long work.
WHAT TO KEEP FOR YOURSELF
The writing, if writing is the point.
Someone writing a memoir or a novel is doing it partly to do it. Generated chapters defeat that.
WHERE IT IS GENUINELY USEFUL
Continuity checking across a long work Finding repetition Tightening Asking whether something is clear
ON PUBLISHING
Most platforms now require disclosure of AI-generated content. Check before publishing.
THE HONEST POSITION
It is a good editor and a poor writer.
