Anti-AI disclaimer: I think it’s helpful for readers to know an author’s stance on using AI, so here is mine: I have never used generative AI for any part of my writing process (and I never will). Not for research, not for editing, not for brainstorming, not for little tweaks, not to solve a plot problem, not for ideas, not to figure out a title, not for any reason. Certainly not for any of the actual writing of words in my novels, or, for that matter, the writing on this website, or any email, note, letter, social media caption or any words you will ever see of mine!
