I appreciate you being upfront about it though. At least I don't feel tricked. I know what I'm getting into reading your novel and can compare the similarities and differences. I can observe how my body and mind reacts to it. No shortcuts to greatness doe. I think its taboo because of this belief.
If you’d like to compare human vs machine, I suggest the Humabon part of Chapter 1 and the Magellan part of the battle of mactan (except the part about his state of mind as he dies). I usually start a chapter with some fragments and Claude just fills in the blanks. Then I do a lot of manual tweaking. The battle of Mactan was exceptional and surprising because that long section came out pretty good with Claude’s first attempt and without any raw sections from me. The only part I had to revise a lot until it sounded right was his death.
The distaste for AI as a tool in literature is just a distaste for honesty about how much you used digital tools in the process. Short of locking authors in sealed rooms for the entire writing process there can be no certainty that AI didn't taint a book. The new policy among the publishers will only reward liars.
Just to clarify, don’t let the lede prevent you from reading about why Kahlil thought his choice of when and where to use AI accorded with his specific aesthetic intention re voice and character.

This is intensely interesting and should be in the archive of anyone thinking seriously about AI and the arts.
