I love AI. I was an early adopter when ChatGPT first hit the scene all those years ago. But, my guy, if you’re going to use AI, you’ve got to know how to use it correctly.
For example, I use it for grammar, flow, and spelling. I use it to bounce ideas around, for research, finding links, and sometimes just chatting shit. If I’ve had problems at work or ideas rattling around in my head, I can bounce them off ChatGPT and find out whether they actually hold up or just sounded good in my head.
It’s also really useful for calculations and planning. For stories, for example, I use it to work out dates for family trees, keep ages and generations consistent, plan chapters, build timelines, and make sure events actually line up properly.
It’s great for other things too. I use it to help create logos and pictures for my stories, and some of the results are getting ridiculously photorealistic, which is fucking crazy. And yet, on here, I see so many good ideas executed poorly that it makes me cry. If you’re going to use AI in your work, do it right.
For example, if I see poor spelling in a description, in this day and age, with spellcheck, GPT, grammar tools, and fucking editors, dude, come on.
And I’m fully aware that I’m not perfect even with AI, but that’s exactly why I have an editor and don’t just rely on these tools. Having the human touch is more relevant now than ever. And yeah, I ain’t perfect either. I make mistakes too.
So we're doing well download count, and I'm pleased everyone's enjoyed this season. But I cannot fathom why the score is dropping? We've gone from 7.76 to 7.72? As no one is telling me anything, I presume all is well? Is it a problem with spelling, grammar, flow, characters or pacing? Or the lack of sex? Dunno.
People are nitpicking, which I fucking love! It means people are invested in the story. Keep it up; it only makes the story better. We start the next season with a bang, and the numbers, despite the score, keep climbing. I’m unsure as to why the score keeps dropping, but, c’est la vie, friends!
Solo Leveling is performing nicely, despite being unedited, and My Isekai Life is pulling in good numbers as well. I’m having fun writing all of this. Steven, as always, is hot on my ass about grammar and shit. I’m doing my absolute best, but sometimes shit falls through the cracks. Still, I’m walking here.
To be honest, I never thought I’d get this far with The New World, but here we are—200 thousand downloads and fucking counting. As always, I raise my goblet in salute to my editor, without whom this would be a massive, steaming pile of dino shit.
Just been and seen it, I really liked it. People said, 'eh a bit slow in the middle, but fine, it builds context. I think Tom is doing Spiderman justice. Well done Tom!
I've been a busy boy. I've been working on my stories.
The New World: Part Six is almost ready. I won't be posting it until next month, though.
The next chapter of Solo Leveling is ready.
I've also completed two more chapters of My Isekai Life.
Only *The New World* is edited by Steven. The rest are edited by me.
