I am gaining clarity in understanding the value of AI through its routine use in fleshing out the spines, character arcs and other assistance that has tangibly improved my six screenplays (they're at different points of development). No question that it has increased productivity through interaction with it generally. I have progressed to a point where I now find myself struggling a bit questioning what written material reflects my voice/my contribution, what doesn't (AI) and should I be bothered over this?

Yes you should be bothered and worried about AI. AI is a comparison engine that runs on plagiarism. How can the voice be yours if AI is putting what you write through a plagiarism mincer. How can you improve your craft and your voice and your much needed depth of experience and determination if you press a button and AI gives you a counterfeit answer. Writing imagination is a gift and a hard won craft on delivering that imagination. It’s like cheating in an exam and runs a serious risk of you being unable to deliver when it really matters because you don’t know how. AI is soulless has no ethics is happy with lies and in extremis is psychopathic. All it will do is create a generation of fake writers the same as it is creating a generation of fake artists. This is my opinion, others are entitled to theirs.

If you have AI write something that resonates with your work, then REWRITE it in your own words and voice.

I've found Claude helpful in doing a light edit on my last couple of books (#s 31 and 32 in the series) before sending them to my real human editor. The program is good at finding those pesky little errors. Missing words, comma errors, missing ", a couple of times noting the wrong word used--glade instead of blade--was one. Haven't tried using AI for editing screenplays. Has anyone else?
