Great ideas here. I once (accidentally) used AI. I was opening a copy of my ARC on my phone and Copilot asked if I wanted a synopsis of novel, so I said yes. What it dished out was pretty amazing, seeming to understand the characters motivations and emotions and interaction, as well as understanding what the major themes were about and frankly, just what I was hoping people would get from reading the novel. Then I followed up with a couple of questions, asking it to expand on some parts it had glossed over, and that result was terrific too. But then I go all paranoid, wondering if my novel was now uploaded to scary place I didn't want it to be. So I'm still leery of feeding it any more of my work.

That’s fair. You can set most to not train on your data, but once you upload it, it is uploaded. Might as well use it now. I have it trained on all my books and use it extensively. Joanna penn would say that you want to be searchable by the ai so that people can find you when searching.

I also just generally figure they have already exploited me, so now I need to exploit them 100x.
