Does anyone know how to write a book?

35. You are now very far from the OP.

If you were one of my students, you would fail the assignment for being off-topic.

Not Heidi, who is a nonwriter, wants to create a book that will presumably not have wide circulation. She does not state she wants a career as a writer.

I merely suggested she look into using the latest writing assistants, which are AI-based.

I am quite familiar with the inaccuracies of AI-presented information, Bing's problems, Bard's delay, and Google's stock price drop. I read the news.

Like you, I also trained on word processors from the early 1980s. I largely agree with what you say about good writing, bad writing, and bad-faith writing, but the condescending style in which you present ideas is quite off-putting.

You seem to want to impose your value judgments about AI on the world, and in particular, me. Good luck with that.

I'm going to trash this thread. Further posts will not be read.
