So much to think about in this piece. It's crammed full of interesting questions. Don't abandon this ship too soon, please. For one thing, I found the premise of the When the Grid Goes Dark HIGHLY intriguing. After the black out in Spain in Portugal over the past few days, my mind keeps darting toward reading more. As a writer and fellow-creative, I find tremendous value in how you used AI to help organize and structure the text of When the Grid Goes Dark. I'm not off-put for one second, other than jealous that you could get your mss into sellable form so damn quick! Any "product" takes a lot of elbow grease to sell. If you don't try to get more attention on Grid Goes Black then of course it won't be read. Anyways, this piece is magnificent. And like I said, crammed full of thought-provoking stuff. Good on you, Nick!
Thanks for this. I don't want to abandon this project just yet. I have a second outline for a book in the same series called "When The War Comes Home," which is about what to do if war were to break out on our shores. Craven? Cynical? Actually potentially useful? TBD!
It did, in some capacity, change my thoughts. I still believe AI can be extremely useful as a research and organization aide. I don't think, however, it's a hack or cheat code to getting to high quality writing quickly.

So scary!
So…did this experiment change your thoughts on the use of AI in writing books?
