This answers the generative AI question:
Just about every writing software out there is AI.
The writer can use it to do spelling and grammar, and that's not considered AI. The Authors Guild says so. They--of course--have the final word (please note, I just used em dashes ... keep reading).
What software can you use?
Chicago Manual of Style (if you want to vomit, be my guest*)PerfectIt - which refuses to add AI to its spelling and grammar. Ulysses iA WriterWordfinderHemingway App - but it does use AI scanning for spelling and grammar issues.
that is good news for writers and their creativity. It's been shown to dull one's brain cells. Those "little gray cells," as Poirot says in Agatha Christie's books.
The author who wrote the attached article is an expert underline, bold, exclamation point, and laughing emoji)
Let me finish with this: "Experts" such as in the attached article are flawed beyond measure. Let me "delve" into the "critical," "potentially," and "crucial" flaws.
Even "important" is on the list. Drop down, kids, to caveman scrawls. Or surely you'll be deemed an AI writer.
Everyone who is a writer uses em dashes. Many editors will switch commas to em dashes; they may eschew semicolons and colons. Heaven forbid you use one too many ellipses.
Writers hire editors, thus great comma placement (and do you know all 21 pages of the CMoS?).
Writers? There are writers who have "fostered" dictionaries and thesauruses, but use Wordfinder (an AI program, as mentioned).
Exercise your brains. Use Microsoft's spelling and grammar program. To be serious, this is what the Authors Guild wants to codify.
