#WritersCoffeeClub 1. Can you foresee any circumstance where you might use AI to compose part of a story?

That'd be a very hard NO.

(I write commercial fiction. All my author/publisher contracts include a warranty clause, that the MS I'm delivering is all my own work. To use an LLM would court breach of contract—a very expensive mistake!)

Possible exception: if, BY PRIOR AGREEMENT WITH A PUBLISHER, there was a specific reason to include LLM-generated text, eg. in a book about LLMs (unlikely).

Does that mean, if you had an LLM in a story you'd have to pretend to be one yourself? Given how often they emulate Humanity in their writing style that'd be quite amusing.

@cachondo Yup, I would tend to do that, unless I'd pre-cleared it with my acquiring editors.
