AI Isn’t Cheating—It’s Co-Creation

Stop shaming writers who use AI.

It’s not cheating.

It’s not lazy.

And it definitely doesn’t make you any less of a writer.

Misuse of AI is everywhere in publishing, for sure.

That is exactly why I had my next guest on the show. To shed light on this very intense topic.

In my interview with my friend and novelist Ana del Valle, we got into this exact conversation.

She works with writers in her masterclasses—showing them how to actually use AI to clarify ideas, organize storylines, and polish their drafts without losing their voice.

And here’s what I learned about writing novels like this.

AI doesn’t write for you.

It writes with you.

You still have to do the work.

You still need to know what you want to say.

And no tool can replace your vision, tone, or lived experience.

Anna said it best:

“It takes an enormous amount of understanding of this model… how to train it, how to position it, what project files to develop—it takes time.”

You’re not pressing a magic button.

You’re co-creating.

Writers evolve.

Tools change.

The craft remains.
