I'd get rid of "pornography" in "police infidelity pornography mob mafia"
Algos can easily dungeon your book into erotica for keywords that also fit erotica (it's happened to me before and I had to change keywords)
that there is a three word maximum per keyword slot, and that the 7 new keywords I've chosen would work out to all kinds of combinations like legal thriller, courtroom drama, legal suspense, legal novel, legal mysteries etc. And that filling up each search box tended to confuse things in terms of the search.
Are novelists who worry about the rise of AI really ‘classist and ableist’?Apparently, the concern is that people with disabilities have to use AI to create literature. The thing is, such people created things before AI existed. There are other options.
The Guardian 11 Sep 2024
The National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) organization said in a recent statement that “‘The categorical condemnation of artificial intelligence has classist and ableist undertones…questions around the use of AI tie to questions around privilege.’ Er…what?...did someone in the managerial class fire up ChatGPT and prompt it to weaponise social justice language in defence of a technology that has been accused of stealing from artists and writers…and is now making the rich richer? This weird statement sparked a lot of anger and four members of NaNoWriMo’s writers board stepped down in protest….We’re in a Choose Your Own Adventure scenario with AI at the moment. And right now we seem to be choosing the dystopian ending.”

Which brings us back to the question of how much the human author contributed. Certainly, a human using AI to improve workflow is capable of having original insights. But one of the problems with Ai use is that, like Boucher, an author can get stuck defending his work against perhaps unwarranted allegations. Someone who saved the process materials at each stage could certainly prove how much of the writing is truly his creation, but it seems like a hassle, even then.AI is incapable of original insight.
But the human user prompting/directing the AI is.
AI is incapable of original insight.
