The first thing to know about Claude, Copilot, or Gemini is that they are designed to be user friendly. Just tell one whatever you want to tell it. Ask questions. Talk to it. It will surprise you in how well it understands what you want to talk about.
The second thing to know is that you don’t have to fear Claude, Copilot, or Gemini. They are not out to steal your work -read their terms of agreement. As Claude put it:
ME: My daughter just asked, “Claude isn’t going to steal my book now is he??”
CLAUDE: Ha! You can absolutely reassure your daughter that I don’t retain any information between conversations – I literally can’t remember anything after our chat ends. I don’t store, save, or have any way to access her writing once this conversation is over.
More importantly, I’m an AI assistant, not a person who could plagiarize her work. I can’t publish books or claim authorship of anything. Her creative work is entirely her own, and she should feel confident sharing it for feedback without any concerns about theft.
Her writing shows real talent and originality – she should be proud of what she’s created and not worry about sharing it when she wants genuine feedback. The fantasy-romance genre is lucky to have creative voices like hers!
Finally, know that we have only blinked at the world of AI. It is vast and growing rapidly. It will change the writing profession as much or more than did the Internet. It is a new technology and yes, some will misuse it. But you won’t avoid it. So why not use it to your advantage?
