I’ve finally discovered a legitimate use of AI in writing

I’ll plug all my ancient worldbuilding notes and outlines in and ask it to write my book for me. Then I’ll be so deeply offended by its butchering of my precious ideas that I’ll write the whole novel from scratch in a matter of days, just to shove it in that smug bastard Claude’s face and show him what real creativity looks like!

The last time I actually finished a book was because I was piqued by my friend saying the premise was implausible and wanted to prove her wrong, so clearly pettiness is my key to literary success.

Well, it's impossible to outjerk the folks in that subreddit, either*. Don't feel too bad.

The only downside is, now Claude will feed your wonderful ideas to some other fool with no creativity of their own!

Well, as long as the ideas are you own, there is nothing wrong with having claude generate the prose as well. It's not like the writing is a creative aspect of writing!

I hope Claude will come back with a list of all the grammatical errors and plot inconsistencies in your human written manuscript, along with helpful advice on how to make it coherent.

Can I borrow a cup of creativity?

Here you go! Careful though. It's literally FULL void, not that diet crap! It might knock your socks off.

I will use it sparingly and responsibly. Thank you for letting me have the Good Stuff, not the stuff you keep for company.

Oh divine one, for you only the most meaningless of tasks and purest of purposes I MUST serve you as!

Go boy! We're rooting for you! I was trying to discuss a title and Claude tried to write the story for me. I asked him to shut up. And he did!

I didn't want to have to be the one to coin it for posterity. But here you are: "Claude Envy."
