AI-generated novels all sound the same. In this podcast, I’ll show you the 8 AI tells — and why the future of writing isn’t AI-generation, it’s AI-Assist. AI writers are often told: “Just use Sonnet to write and Opus to refine — boom, instant novel!” Sounds great, right? Wrong. What you’re really doing is writing 60% of a draft while Claude generates the other 40% — and let’s be honest, that 60% is usually AI-polished anyway. Is that book truly yours? Not according to copyright law. But the bigger issue is this: it’s not good for you as a writer. 💥Join me Live October 14-16th $38.00 https://www.thenoveliststudio.com/story-spark-bootcamp-2dfc8808-f331-459f-8eba-27e82535328f ✅ LEARN ALL ABOUT CHATGPT FOR CREATIVE WRITERS https://www.thenoveliststudio.com/ebook 🎓 Join the waitlist for the AI Creative Writing Academy https://www.thenoveliststudio.com/ai-creative-writing-academy     About Ana:  Award-winning novelist and technologist, Ana Del Valle is a recognized authority on AI in fiction writing, host of The Novelist Studio Podcast & YouTube channel, and founder of the AI Creative Writing Academy, the first AI-Assist Creative Writing system recognized by the US Copyright office.
