What do you think of people who use AI just to write plot in English?
[] In the context of generating a full English plot with AI ya (not just grammar checking or research purposes).
Do I think that that's a right and justified trick to do? No, it's not.
Can I always tell if a plot is fully AI-generated? Not necessarily. I might have a sense, but I don’t like accusing people—it’s not always fair, and I could be wrong. And if I'm wrong, my accusation could've killed someone's writing spirit, and that'd be cruel.
Do I understand why people are doing that? Kinda. Writing in a second language is hard. Wanting your ideas to sound “better” or more polished is completely valid. But for me, that still doesn’t make it right.
Can I forbid you from doing that? No, I can't.
But will people recognize? Yes. People WILL be able to feel it. Something will feel off, like this isn't human-creation, like there's no real person behind this writing. And in roleplay (where character voice matter so much), this becomes really noticeable. People will frown, people will lose interest in interacting with you, or even ASSOCIATING with you... They may not say it up on your face, but just know that it'll never go unnoticed...
Sure, using gen AI gave you the speed, a plethora of new words, maybe you think it delivers the story better than your own words... But the thing is- you will never own THAT story... you will never feel pride of that perfectly written narration... you will barely even remember what you 'wrote'... You can't feel your character, and your writing partner won't be able to feel you either. Writing with a writer who uses gen-AI feels talking to a blank piece of paper... It's exhausting. It makes me feel like I don't wanna write with you anymore...
If you have to use it, use it to assist you, as a tool. Take a sentence or two when you feel stuck, I think that's still fine. Honestly, I'lI personally appreciate stumbling thoughts and awkward sentences more than the perfect narration. Grammar errors are acceptable because fuck it, English is not our language, and that's okay. At least it's real.
