You still want to research and fact-check, but AI programs will give you some foundational knowledge and help you better target where and how to do a deeper dive.)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Brainstorming.<\/b> If you\u2019re like me, you have a very limited number of people who are willing to listen to you refine your plot or characters for longer than maybe five minutes.\n<p>If you want a sounding board, an AI program can be a great tool. It will \u201clisten\u201d and give feedback for as long as you want, without getting bored or demanding a change of subject.<\/p>\n<p>And its suggestions can help improve your story or characters.<\/p>\n<p>(Just remember that its feedback is the average of all the books and writing advice in its dataset, so while it can be useful, it won\u2019t be original. Adding originality is your job.)<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><b>Editing.<\/b> AI programs make very good copy editors, and fixing typos or grammatical errors won\u2019t affect the manuscript\u2019s copyrightability.\n<p>The fine line is when the editing software recommends a rephrase of a sentence \u2013 that\u2019s a gray area that hasn\u2019t been addressed by the powers that be.<\/p>\n<p>Minor tweaks are probably fine, complete rewrites are probably not, and we won\u2019t know how much is too much until we get more guidance from Congress, the Copyright Office or the courts.<\/p>\n<p>(Just remember that AI software is not a substitute for a human editor; it just cleans things up enough that an editor can focus on the bigger issues.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Final Takeaway<\/h2>\n<p>So, what\u2019s the takeaway here?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Copyright protects creative expression<\/strong>, not facts or ideas, so as long as a human is providing the creativity and originality (i.e., writing the book themselves), AI programs can assist with the rest.<\/p>\n<p>When in doubt, you can always talk to a lawyer to determine whether your use is safe.<\/p>\n<h2>Questions About AI and Copyright?<\/h2>\n<p>If you have questions about what AI can safely do for you or would like to discuss your use of AI programs, please email me at <a href=\"mailto:kaway@kawaylaw.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">kaway@kawaylaw.com<\/a>.
