My book is openly using AI. Not in the writing, though. I did use it to write the articles and the Tupaia story. To me, it's impressive that it was able to generate all those various charts for the theory essay. Believe me, it didn't 'write' the whole thing. My brain, fleshing it out paragraph by paragraph. I've spent years making it write in my voice, so it's good at it. Bluntly, it's irrelevant to me. Academic and technical writing is something AI excels at. It doesn't require creativity -- it's just word shuffling. Having edited and proofed essays in 2016-2021, academic pride and a belief that human creativity is impeded by machines doesn't seem so great. I'd rather edit these than some half-arse draft. Writing is likely to survive, but I think Google did most of what ChatGPT does. One of the great shames of academia used to be essay farms, so it's not so surprising.

Google and Wikipedia were both accused of essentially writing people's homework. That was straightforward fraud and plagiarism, though, while AI is more complex. I can see why they wouldn't give a stuffy old literary prize to an AI-assisted book, but my audience is much younger. Gen Z are the first native AI generation. To people that know something about it, the virtuosity of my LLM profile is fascinating. AMPP is the thing that I use ChatGPT for. It started as a foolish experiment in AI, but now it's something that might capture some of the public in 2026.
