To Homer's question, I had it tell me that a particular violent scene was likely too much and threatened general acceptance. Then I said, what would you do? and it said if I simply alluded to it (rather than walking a reader through it) I'd get the same impact without the outrage, which was a...

Ffs, I'm the bad guy now for trying to have the exact conversation @Trish so excellently outlined above. So, Trish. I've found a couple of things. First, it helps if you stick to one chat when discussing your work with the LLP. When you stick to one chat, it tracks better, and doesn't repeat...

i know you have, sorry for the confusion.

What respect on your respect, when someone says, "there's a boycott on chatGPT", another says, "chatGPT 'makes sh!t up'", and then goes on to state a beta-reader should be 'an actual human' who should return an 'actual human opinion,' and a third person suggests it's only good for SPAG, you...

I say this with the utmost respect for everyone. There's a whole other wonderful, glorious thread out there for DEBATING ai. Can we have one where we allow people an opportunity for evaluation and experimentation? Or is the compulsion to destroy all things ai just too great for some on this...

@Rath Darkblade for example, i posted my first chapter and said beta-read this, which it did very nicely. After, I said beta-read it as if you were a literary agent specializing in horror (vampire fiction) and assess my horror hook, whether my writing as a first time author passes muster, and...

I paid a professional beta-reader $300 on Fiverr a few years back, and it took him weeks to review my manuscript. How does chatGPT compare? Well, it's free, it's instantaneous, it's more comprehensive, more detail-oriented, and just as capable. Plus, as I stated in my intro, it's dynamic, which...

Wanted to discuss things people do to use AI to their advantage when they write. Recently, I've been writing chapters and sending them through chatGPT for SPAG, POV, pace evaluations, fact checks, and story arc evaluations. I've found it really helpful. In parts that I've had terrible writer's...

I drove all of italy last summer. Not good.

If you were an agent and got dozens of submissions per month, wouldn't you utilize technology to cull the herd a tad? A lot of money's on the line for them. Reputation too. Are you consistent with their other offerings? I'd skip the purist talk and be all over it.

You might try this approach..

It looks lovely there, lol.

You'd like love at first sight in just two or three sentences, but this is a part of your story that begs you to trim heavily elsewhere and make the words up by laying the woman's foundation, OR you speak about how love is like a fuse that won't light, except for rare cases, nobody gets to pick...

I can't unsee that chicken's scrod.

Am I seeing the face of weeping Buddha in the photo to the right?
