If someone gave me an ice cream cone and said "this is 99% ice cream and 1% cow shit", that would be a fair disclaimer. I still wouldn't lick it.

I used AI to do a lot of stress testing and to see what patterns fall out of the setting rule I wrote. Helped a lot with grammar checking and general editing. Brainstorming too.

When you write enough materials, the AI generated output started becoming less generic and actually interesting. Really cool. Still wouldn't use the generated output. The ideas, yes, but not the words.

I write every single word. It's not a shortcut by any means. Just means that your work can be narratively and technically more rigorous. Using AI to generate stories for you defeat the purpose.

If it didn't take you at least an hour to create something worthwhile, it's likely that you generated slop.
