[Stylist] AI and Writing

[Vejas Vasiliauskas]

Hi Sherry, 
Thanks for sharing that! If you use AI to describe a sighted character, do you then change the wording on it a little bit, so that it's in your own words? I'm just curious! It's a fine line because the idea is often our own, but the actual words are not. 
Thanks, 
Vejas

I've saved some of those things to use in my writing, because I tend to write in multiple points of view, and for blind characters I use little visual description, but the sighted characters need to have it.

As I played around with it more, I realized I had a new cast of characters that I could use for a story that I could write myself. But as I started actually writing the story for real yesterday, I realized that because I'd created the characters with AI, my language and dialogue were a little simplistic, just like AI's was.
