The authors publish Tiktoks to protest against use in writing and to show that they are not doing it

Godschild, who wrote the fantasy novel The hunter and the expenditure, He says he has been writing from childhood and has gone through a long process, which has traced his manuscript years before putting his pen on paper. A few days after seeing the modification post of 1,000 pages of Aveyard, Godschild published a time-lapse of herself by writing on her computer, subtitles the video, “Look at this time-lapse of me who write a scene in a mysterious murder TV show without the use of gen-ai.” The caption also notes that “it is not a thief” and that “the killer is so unpredictable that not even a machine could understand who it is”.

Some writers are using the controversy over artificial intelligence to remind people the very human skills necessary to create a complex story.

Ya indie author Rachel Menard A tiktok posted of herself who opened drafts of one of his manuscripts, writing that if he was using the IA, “it would not have wanted 78 drafts to do it”.

“Everyone has forgotten what makes a book good, and it is the work that goes there,” says Menard, who wrote three books independently. He adds that while the IA could be able to “let out a decent Spezia scene”, he cannot create a compelling story. “If my characters don’t feel like real people, he lives a real life, with real problems, then I have to continue working on it.”

Quan Millz, independent author with over 830,000 Tiktok followers and well known for its titles “Street Lit” stunning as Old Thot next to AND This hoe obtained cockroaches in his cradleHe says that the accusations that he used the IA to write go beyond labeling it as a thief: underestimate the cultural fluidity behind his novels. Before revealing his identity on Tiktok in 2023, Millz, who is black, faced the accusations of being white and even a voice of being a “CIA agent”.

“It is clear now that you use the IA to write all your books. It is in no way that you drop the books so quickly”, He wrote a commentator On one of Millz’s posts.

Millz uses the IA to make book covers, also for books that are still in the conceptual phase, but says that the accusations that he also writes with the tool are false.

“There is no way not to get one of these artificial intelligence models to really capture the essence of how blacks speak,” says Millz to Wired. The author claims to have tested the IA for writing and discovered that large models censored his scenes for adults and could not reproduce his shaded tone. “It doesn’t understand that Aave [African American Vernacular English] It is not monolithic … the blacks in Chicago do not seem black in New York. “

While Millz hosted a couple of lives of Tiktok who document his writing process in real time, he says to Wired that he will not host more, even if he helps to show the skeptics that his written work is original.

The check-in constantly with the commentators has hindered his writing process, he says, and he feels that while having a social presence is crucial in the independent publication, the filming of your process will no longer provide work tests without artificial intelligence than your work itself, at least not yet. “I really think there is something else transcendent in human experience, something mystical that we do not yet know, and you can hear it through the arts,” says Millz. “When you read the text of the AI, even if you do a good job in an attempt to modify it or make it yours, there is still something wrong.”
