Hey, hey, hi this is your neighborhood friendly trainwreck, Sara and I am here with a guidebook this time, I hope you find it useful! ♡
Now, I am not too sure if this concept has already been done, whether in or out of Wattpad, but I am here to shar...

We're discussing how AI affects the creative and content writing industry and how we as authors and content creators need to approach this AI situation.
As I mentioned, AI is not your enemy, it is your friend or a tool to help you, similar to how you'd use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables. That doesn't make knives any less dangerous but it also doesn't make it any less helpful.
The main issue with AI is, its a bit like a black-box, sure you could draw the input output and its network in between... it cannot be truly explained. Hence why so much is being done, just to ensure its transparency, accountability and privacy. [something your parents never did, oops]
Now the million dollar question that's on everyone's mind — should you use AI with your writing, or at all?
Technically, there's no right answer. Recent upheaval has shown that some people despise even considering AI (hey, good for you, no one's going to complain!) and some admit to using AI to help with their grammar, flow, description, etc. the technicalities, if you will and there is nothing wrong with it as long as you're using AI responsibly. If you're using it to write your full book, WITHOUT BEING HONEST ABOUT IT and in doing so, taking chances away from others, you deserve to be banned.
The struggle comes in when readers use AI-detectors (usually a low number of tries) and conclude that the person used AI and they're going to be orchestrated and banished for it. THAT IS NOT THE WAY TO HANDLE THE SITUATION.
But first—
→ No detector is 100% correct.
If humans themselves could never be 100% right, how could you believe its creation was? It wouldn't be! Please have some compassion both for yourself and others.
→ False positives and False negatives are common.
What are these fancy terms, Sara?
I am glad you asked. Let me explain it to you in the simplest terms possible.

So you see this graph? It's called the confusion matrix (and yes, this is as confusing as its name. Took me weeks enough to wrap my head around it.)
I will try to keep it as simple as possible, I promise.
Three terms to remember — detector, reality and conclusion.
