No, A.I. Can’t Write Your Novel. Yet. (Volume Five)

2023 was a year of rapid expansion of the AI market, as businesses and individuals scrambled to adapt the newly available Large Language Model technology in their industries, and yes, that included the arts.  Especially the arts.

Early on, walking the very fine line of leveraging AI’s skills without infringing on anyone else’s proprietary rights was fraught with ethical challenges. Anyone who read the No, AI Can’t Write Your Novel. Yet book series, though, discovered how to navigate that minefield.  However, others avoided the use of AI altogether for fear of being accused of “cheating”, or because it felt too intimidating, but those folks are now far behind the curve.  

With Thorny’s book series, readers found it surprisingly simple to stave off the temptation to substitute soulless AI generations for real writing and authentic art of their own creation, but still benefit from the technological advances, firm principles intact.

In No, AI Can’t Write Your Novel. Yet. Volume Five, Thorny Nettles branches out beyond the industry’s leader, Chat-GPT and explores some of the excellent uses of artificial intelligence that weren’t up and running quite as early nor successfully as OpenAI’s pre-eminent success.
