A couple of the authors I chat with are playing with AI as an assistant. You can almost see the hearts in their eyes when they talk about what AI makes easier (outlines, research assistant, etc.) and what it doesn't. Evidently AI does a lousy job of emulating an author's 'voice' and often writes very stupid paragraphs when brainstorming. As one author put it, they have now written two books where they didn't screw up a character's name or used the wrong homonym which were two of their bêtes noire. OTOH, the opinion is that it still their book. AI is simply a tool much like Word or LO Writer or Vellum.
