This is fair, and I agree with all of this. I do think the idea that is pushes towards a more generic story is only true on the assumption that all feedback received is taken, rather than just using it as something to think about. Since I'm not and have no intention of being commercial, the point about human editors or the industry is neither here nor there for me.

I think where I end up on this is that in my limited use, nothing in the end product has felt like anything other than mine because I know how the ideas and words got to the page. BUT: I can't trust that is true for others that use AI, and why I personally hope (perhaps hypocritically) that AI-assisted work should be clearly signed and is not something I want to read. I think a light touch is helpful, anything more is compromising.

Anyway, this all helped me think through things a bit. I think I will continue to use AI as a feedback mechanism, but only after I have "finished" my work so I can consider where I might have done it different as a source of potential learning for the next project.
