It's not writing anything for me. It's suggesting where I'm not making things clear, or where a quicker pace or punchier phrasing might help, awkward prose, inconsistent character voice, etc. And something to bounce ideas off of, like "does this make sense?"

And I can respond, and it adjusts, and helps me get to a baseline standard before a human looks at it--who I sent a draft to a few days ago. It's 100% my own ideas, words, scene staging, and story. I still rewrote entire sections even though it said they were solid.

I don't know a lot of writers, and getting friends and family to read 5 pages, let alone 2,000 words, or 13 chapters is near impossible. Critique meetups and such are only so helpful.

And I've never done this before, yet I've actually created something, which ChatGPT made a little easier by acting as a mostly competent editor with mostly mediocre creative instincts, anyway. Sometimes it's nonsense, or forgets character traits, but it's more helpful than zero support.

6 months ago I had no clue I was capable of anything like this, but now I'm doing it, and frankly it's a pretty original story. Would you not consider that a positive use?
