Rather than letting AI write entire sections of prose, Shapiro advocates for employing ChatGPT as a brainstorming collaborator. He warns against expecting AI to craft flawless text—current models tend to produce "garbage" in that regard—but they excel at generating ideas, outlining scenes, and acting as a sounding board throughout the creative process.
He shares that in working on his upcoming novel, titled Ascension, he meticulously avoids using AI for drafting prose. Instead, ChatGPT assists him in plot development, identifying story milestones, and constructing character arcs. This approach allows him to maintain full control over the quality of writing while harnessing AI’s ability to spark inspiration and organization.
