It has been brought to my attention that authors should probably start including a note at the beginning of their books indicating whether artificial intelligence was used in its writing. First off, I am inherently suspicious of such a thing as, while I have my doubts about whether AI can come up with a novel that is any good, it can definitely write a note telling you it didn't.
Second, I own a dog. Two, in fact, but one of them in particular is a high-maintenance, over-anxious, allergic-to-everything, financially crippling idiot. One day, I'll probably be able to buy a robot to walk the idiot, feed the idiot, groom the idiot, give the idiot all of his various medications. It'll even stand outside getting soaked while holding an umbrella over the idiot's head because he's terrified of the rain but is having one of his dodgy belly days. I can get a robot to do all that, and then I will have lost the greatest friend I have ever had.
Creativity isn't about imitating others to get it right, it's about getting it wrong in the right way. So, rest assured, I wrote every word of this bugger, and I even held an umbrella over its head while it worked out some issues in the rain. Seriously, I stood in a downpour for twenty minutes because Chapter 56 wasn't quite working. You're welcome. Let's see AI do that.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to walk the beloved idiot immediately because we live in Manchester and it is currently not raining.
