AI as a dynamic beta-reader

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 block, I used it for general directions I could head - none of which I used, but I found myself settling on an option that was far superior than what I had. In one scene where I was having trouble ironing out the frantic pace of action, it suggested slipping in some beats that I think helped. I write and use it, write and use it, write and use it. It's a very effective and free beta-reader!

So, I was writing to see if anyone else uses this and what tips they might have for it. I'm considering switching over to Claude fwiw.

- And for clarification, a static beta-reader reads your submission once and gives feedback. A dynamic one you submit, make some changes, resubmit, make additional changes, etc. until you're happy. Just wanted to stress that the AI thing is dynamic.

I do. But I don't ask it for options or for plot, but to see if what I intended landed, or it thinks that some places need strengthening, or things like that. I don't always agree and don't do everything it suggests. Like any critique, use your own judgement.
