You can ask chatgpt, or there are more specific critique tools like inkshift.io or musely.ai.

Entire books are too long for some models.

Any that you have run into that you like?

Currently writing, I'm not going to let AI touch any of the creative stuff, but I might eventually get it to do some of the fiddly crap that requires not much brain work but takes up time, like working out technical marketing things and stuff like that. Essentially I want to use it to free up time for me to do the creative stuff, not to do the creative stuff for me.

No clanker will ever touch the creative purity of my smut fanfiction. My mistakes are divine gifts from God.

Whenever I've used an LLM to edit anything it goes right ahead and removes my voice from the text, even more advanced models and even when I repeatedly clarify that that's not what I want. I don't think it's up to the task.

Yeah they certainly have a writing style. I prefer to use it in a more detached way, as more of a critique writer than an editor.

I've seen what "AI" does to the writing of others. Either through "fixing" the text, "finishing" the text or "editing" the text.

I'd rather lock eyes with my parents, then proceed to bash apart their newly renovated kitchen. While offering no explanation and shoving them aside when they try to stop me.

Not writing myself, but if I did and used what I am guessing is just grammar correction, I'd do an entire proof reading of the book to be sure the LLM didn't break anything.

If you mean to ask an LLM to write a book and the "author" is just supervising, I would say the person isn't really writing anything.

Inkshift.io seems to provide through critiques and it doesn't touch the manuscript, from what I can tell.

If you were letting it do the editing, it would be nice if LLMs were closely integrated with diff'ing tools. I guess they are if you use an LLM integrated into a software editor (IDE)
