Expand commentI have to agree with Mike Walsh about being cautious when using AI to help generate prose/content. It is fine as a brainstorming tool, as an editor to suggest tightening grammar, catching typos, etc. but most creative industries push back against the use of AI as a pure creation tool. In screenwriting, the WGA outlines what the AI guardrails are (i.e.. how you can/cannot use AI when screenwriting) on their websites (East and West). While the book publishing industry lacks such a cohesive stance on AI, it's important to err on the side of caution when using it as a tool. It's valuable to be sure, but like a pistol, try not to point it at anything without understanding it might kill your project's professional potential.

I've written both. My advice is to pace yourself. Manuscripts can be a lot longer. Take advantage of the novel form and infuse the manuscript with details that wouldn't make it into a script. Once you get into your flow, you'll have no trouble. Good luck!
