Thread 24624509

Is it wrong for me to use ChatGPT to help me write my fantasy novel? I am not allowing it to invent new lore, characters or events. I feed it my exact descriptions of what should occur and be said in each chapter, and I let ChatGPT do the rest because I just suck at prose.

Is it writing whole passages for you or are you just using it as a tool at your disposal to aid in the construction of your novel?

Most importantly, NEVER tell people you're using AI. It will fuck your shit up in the eyes of readers.

It is writing dialogue and prose, yes. Basically, I write down in as much detail as I can exactly what I want to occur in each chapter, what each character should say, etc, but then I just let it do whatever it wants to turn it into an actual story, with the restriction that it cannot invent any new events, characters, lore, story beats etc, it can only expand my story. If that makes sense.

delete thread then kill yourself. you already know the answer to your question. you are a fucking fraud. i walked thomas pynchon to the coke dealers house in 1984 you fucking poser.

Sounds great. Good example of how useful a tool the LLM's are. One might have godly narrative construction ability, but horrendous writing ability. No reason to be a puritan. People act like women when they talk about LLM's.

Then you didn't write it, GPT did.
I udnerstand the urge to do it, but I think it's better to teach yourself to let the words flow with practice and whisky. I've done something similar as a shitpost (asked GPT to write 'what if Kurisu commanded Paulus's 6th army at Stalingrad' and it evolved into a cold-war alt-history)
But it became pretty painfully obvious that GPT didn't have a clue what was going on. I didn't really care, it's a shitpost, I'm not publishing it. It would rename characters, forget major events (especially individual lines -- to the AI there is not such a thing as an impactful one-liner, it tries to write everything with maximum poetic drama and it has no sense of narrative emphasis). You can mitigate SOME by handholding it.

I wouldn't read your book if I knew you got GPT to write it, even handholding it.
If you lie or omit, to get people to read it, that is wrong.
If you speak honestly of it, then you do nothing wrong.

No, nobody cares how slops gets slopped.

PS
you might lose the copyright too. I've heard of a case someone dragged through the courts about an AI image (he apparently did a bunch himself too, photoshop and whatnot too) and if that precedent holds for text then if they're not your words the story won't be copywritable

Anyone can come up with an idea for a novel. Most novels are just rehashed hero / villain Disney type stuff anyway. The art of writing is making it come to life through words. If you aren't doing that part then you aren't doing anything.

So, like a real fantasy writer?

Consider this: Imagine if you hired a human writer, gave him descriptions of your scenes, and then had him write them for you. Would you feel that it's honest to call yourself the author, or would it be more accurate to call the guy who actually wrote all the prose and dialogue the author? Because chatgpt is precisely filling the role of that guy in regards to your book.
I don't think what you're doing is necessarily wrong as long as you're honest about it, but if you try to pass yourself off as an author then you're lying. You can be a worldbuilder, an outliner, and an idea guy off of what you're doing, but you're not an author.

>>24624509 (OP)
no

>>24624509 (OP)
Don't worry, your question is moot because no one will read the thing anyway.

what stops me from using chatgpt or some other llm for writing AND coming up with lore, characters, and events? reckon I could come up with half decent slop for women
