Are you a writer who sees nothing wrong with using Artificial Intelligence to generate content?

Perhaps wondering what all the fuss is about.

You see it as just another tool in the toolbox that lets us produce content for our reading audience. They are always thirsty for new stories, and you bring that to them.

Mission accomplished!

How you manage to complete that quest does not really matter in the end, you tell yourself.

I would have to strongly disagree!

Have you ever carefully considered why it is that people read your stories in the first place? It certainly isn’t to find the same top ten regurgitated tips that they can find anywhere on the Internet. Why on earth would they waste their precious time on that?

No, people read your work because they want to feel something. They are seeking some type of connection with another actual human being.

Perhaps they are experiencing major stress or heartache in their lives. Your writing may very well be that flicker of light they so desperately need. Hope that maybe things will get better.

How do you think they would feel if they knew that hope was being provided by a robot?
