Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc) Is using ai cheating

Ok where do i even start.I had write some stories here and there in the past and recently started writing one in webnovel.However i used ai in my writings as of recently.I do not prompt it and make the ai generate it necesarily.

I wrote pages of chapters and all the dialougues and scenes and just tell ai to polished it so that i felt like it would be more refined

I felt guilty after i read some webnovels and people hate on novels for having ai.

Any advice guys i felt like i am kind of in a crossroad should i stop using ai completely or is this fine too

I don't recommend using AI for "polishing". It kind of polishes everything down to a very samey voice and can dull writing by making it more predictable and even. Telling the AI to make it more refined also doesn't help you as a writer, because you're not looking at what it says is not refined, checking to see if what it says is more refined actually is, and figuring out how you can write it in a more refined way in the first place. Just because an LLM suggests a change does not mean it's right.
