Authors AI Assistant - My Suspense Report

AI Editorial Review

Any modern author in 2024 who says they are not using AI for writing assistance is either lying or purposely holding themselves back. I can understand the desire to keep creative content strictly human. However, I suspect it is impossible to do so.

If you won’t use it, someone else will.

Authors who use “beats” to allow AI to write for them—may be unwise. And there will be many of these new authors. It’s being taught by others on YouTube and even in commercial classes. It may be unwise because their end product may lack the depth and characteristics only a human can offer, even with beat guidance.

The coming chapters for Scorpion Sting should highlight this. No AI would be able to express the level of psychological impact a human might endure. My characters have gone deep into psychological despair, a level I have yet to see an AI generate. I am well aware of AI, but I have yet to find one who writes like me.

However, I have trained an AI model to give me “Editorial Reports.”

Below are the final results of my Chapter 7 draft. It is rare for me to get an A+

I will often begin with a B minus, or even a C. I will take the feedback I get and then begin revising. With a revision in hand, I will feed it into the AI editorial review process repeatedly until I get an A in all categories.

I’ve configured several editors. And below is my editorial review from my “Suspense Editor.” I did not train it for horror, and this is the first report it has ever voluntarily modified the “Suspense” category to be “Suspense and Horror.”

It turns out my writing goes well beyond just suspense in Scorpion Sting.

What is to protect my intellectual property as I put this on the web, or submit it to an AI for review?

I am going to guess: nothing.
