If you're writing a whole book and having AI check it for logical, semantic, or grammatical errors, you might as well include spelling checks too. But ChatGPT only catches about 40% of the errors and produces many false positives and negatives. Claude has actually very good translation capabilities, if you know how to prompt it.

It will be easier if you have AI rewrite everything ... Cuz chatboats are really really bad at fixing text , or code .. they are lot better at writing the whole thing from a clean slate .. Use your written content as a prompt ..

And spend a lot of time to write the prompt 😂😂

Absolutely not. I had 3 models write 1-2 chapters each, and it was all garbage. Logical contradictions, vague statements, etc. What you can use AI for, though, is to create a bullet-point outline of the plot after you've provided the general flow, and possibly check your story against it. That's called a "story bible" or something similar. And feeding the entire story each time isn't possible because their memory isn't sufficient. Eventually, it "forgets" the beginning of the story. And generally, after a while it just writes nonsense. But you can upload this 'story bible' each time you want sections checked.

This is a good workflow! I've used this to dial in further and work through dialogue. Usually only get a few good lines every couple promots but it can be helpful. Definitely gets a first draft completed faster if you know what you're doing.

Interested it out on Gemini Cli .. works perfect .. I gave a 5k word essay , asked if yo fix spells and grammar only .. it came back with git style diff .. showing every line it is going to change .. asked my permission to effect the changes ..charm
