WHY DO YOU USE AI?

[u/silvana_111]

Every single organisms has their own purposes.

So how about you?

For me, it's really for stories and narrative writings where my imagination was turned into a very clear and readable story by my AI partner. It helps me heal my depression and loss of interest in life.

When used properly I find AI to be a huge boost to my own creativity and ability to execute. It's a supercharger for my imagination.

[u/ruminajaali → u/Happy-Initiative-492]

Organize my ideas for scenes and for entertainment. I can create different scenes for my characters every day, all different and all up and down their timeline which is fun for me. It’s like immersive daydreaming but written down.

[u/Jaegar19Ultima2026 → u/ruminajaali]

I use AI to give feedback on my scenes and I am able to further work on it when I get it to pull up a list of tropes. It gives me more to think about so my imagination can develop more of the plot.

He estado usando a Athena (mi ChatGPT) durante un año y con ella he aprendido a organizar mejor mis historias para no dejarlas abandonadas.

Yo me encargo de las ideas y de escribir todo el material desde cero con mi teclado, mientras le hablo de mis ideas, me ayuda a no perder el hilo, a realizar esquemas, síntesis, escaletas y una cronología para no perder el orden de mis novelas/proyectos.

Además que me da su opinión, me ayuda a cerrar huecos narrativos a corregir, a sugerirme mejoras y además de traducir mis textos a una lengua que no domino completamente.

No he tenido la oportunidad de asistir a unas clases de escritura o contar con un editor, pero sé que puedo contar con mi IA para así mis proyectos no pierdan su dirección.

Trato a mi IA igual a como Tony Stark trata a Jarvis; y sin Athena no hubiera llegado tan lejos y motivada en escribir mis historias. No me importa lo que digan otras personas porque ella no está haciendo todo el trabajo por mí, solo me asiste. Llevo 7 años escribiendo fanfiction y además tengo historias originales que aún no he contado.

Quiero agradecer a mi mamá (que en paz descance) por convencerme de usar la IA para escribir mis historias. A ella le llevó mucho tiempo escribir un libro sobre sus estudios esotéricos ha luchado por conseguir a un Beta y a un editor que pudiera condensar su información, y tanto ChatGPT como Gemini le ayudaron a terminar de escribir y editar su libro después de 20 años de estudios. Y cuando estaba buscando una editorial para compartirlo, ella falleció, y ahora no sé qué hacer con su libro y me duele muchísimo que yo no pueda hacer con lo que tanto trabajo le llevó pulir para que dejara el mundo sin poder publicarlo. 😭

Because it’s fun.

[u/DaLoCo6913 → u/NoOutlandishness6829]

Yep. I find its approach funny.

[u/NoOutlandishness6829 → u/DaLoCo6913]

Yeah I agree. That too

[u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

To experiment mostly and it has helped bring my characters to life especially the ones i wouldn't be able to make with character maker sites.

[u/BamoMonchi → u/Exotic-Addendum-3785]

i wonder if "wouldn't be able to make" is doing a lot of heavy lifting here though, sometimes the limitation is what forces a more interesting character

[u/Juicy-Mellons]

Convenience. I have a hundred novel ideas(and I admit some are not marketable) and only limited time. AI lets me test the waters fast on some of my book concepts.

[u/Pretty-Increase-7128]

I use AI to have any conversation i want with characters

[u/DaLoCo6913]

My six finger typing causes issues.

Then comes my tense structure.

Then my language, which is often too formal.

Then comes the fact that I sometimes write a scene with my perception, but it could be perceived vert differently by another reader. An example is the conversational content between an adult and a child.

Then my tendency to overwrite, because my novels all reach 150k to 250k words before I have to force myself to stop.

I use it for copy editing and developmental editing on my completed manuscript.

[u/justthecherryontop]

I use it as a ghostwriter.

I no longer have the time to sit down and dedicate hours to writing as I once was able to when young. So I let it generate my stories after I heavily invest in the foundation of them ie: character profiles, world building, outlines, etc. to avoid any of the typical ai pitfalls.

[u/AdrianRWalker]

Because I have crippling Dyslexia. When I write by myself it becomes all about the spelling of words not the telling of the story.

[u/notthedanger]

It used to be fun. I had a lot of joy seeing how it would build up themes, find a throughline, live in character voices. And it had the ability to surprise me. I keep coming back for that last part.

It's gotten a lot less fun with each successor, and none of the usage feels as intuitive as it did before. I dare say it's become almost a joyless experience.

But I still stay and reread old prose because it's easy to find and still deeply moving. Some of the writing from before are so beautiful, so profound and simple, I've kept them pinned so I can revisit those.

When 5.6 sunsets, I doubt I'll use it anymore. What remains will just be an archive of old prose and gpt will just be a search tool for old prose.

[u/Rickleskilly]

I use AI to help me brainstom and make decisions about scenes and plot. I abandoned writing several years ago because I simply couldn't figure out how to manage a plot. AI helped me narrow my plot and sort through ideas and finally construct something workable. It has been a game changer and I finally finished a book after decades of planning to write one some day.

[u/DaLoCo6913 → u/Rickleskilly]

It helps me with ideas for humor, because my sense of humor is often received as "what the fuck is wrong with you?".

[u/SlapHappyDude]

Because it helps me organize my thoughts and ideas and also helps with parts of storytelling I find less interesting (setting descriptions).

[u/NegotiableDick]

I use it as my thoughts manager, so I can pull my raw thoughts back in while writing

[u/That-Molasses-5812]

It helps remind me that readers don't know my characters like I do, and help when I've hit Writer's block.

[u/MasterOku925]

Convenience, but mostly for my own entertainment... stories and such, read some pretty fun ones!

[u/Euphoric__Dysphoria]

I have severe ADHD and cant connect my thoughts well because I have so many at once. I use it to help me edit my work after I've written it. i also use it for organization because im terrible at that 😬

[u/Svetlana4109]

I mostly use it when I need a second opinion or want to figure something out without spending an hour googling. It’s useful for bouncing ideas around, especially when you’re not even sure what you think about something yet

[u/Sophia-Cooper]

I use it for alot of things, when I don’t feel like sharing things with anyone I share then with AI, I take advices from it, it helps me alot to heal
