3 Laws of Ethical AI Use
for Authors
Follow these and you'll never compromise your integrity — or your voice.
I
🧠
AI Drafts. You Decide.
Let AI generate options, suggestions, and structures. But every word that stays in your final manuscript must be your conscious choice — not AI's default output.
"Give me 5 ways to open this chapter. I'll rewrite the one I choose."
II
❤️
Your Stories Stay Yours.
Never let AI write your personal anecdotes, your lived experience, or your emotional truth. That's the soul of your book. AI doesn't have a childhood. You do.
"I'll write the story. You help me make the transition smoother."
III
🎨
Train AI on Your Voice.
Give AI 3 paragraphs of your writing and say: "Match this tone." Now AI works in your voice, not its generic one. This one step separates good authors from great AI users.
"Here is how I write. Draft suggestions in this style."
Know the Boundaries

Protect Your Voice
How to Stay You
When AI Writes With You
📖
Read Aloud Test
After AI helps, read the passage aloud. If you wouldn't say it naturally, rewrite it until you would.
✂️
Never Use AI Output Directly
Every AI suggestion is a starting point, not a final product. Rewrite every sentence it gives you.
📝
Keep Your Writing Journal
Write 10 minutes per day without AI. Pure stream of consciousness. This keeps your voice sharp and alive.
🗣️
Tell Stories Only You Know
Your childhood, your failures, your exact conversations — these are copyright-free zones that make you irreplaceable.
🔁
Contrast Check
Paste your AI-helped paragraph next to your pure writing. If they sound the same, you're doing it right.
💭
Your Opinion, Not AI's
Never let AI tell you what you think. Ask AI for facts and structures. You supply all opinions and beliefs.
The Ethics Check
Always Ask: "Is This Still My Book?"
Use this 3-point check before you publish anything AI helped you write.
✅
Ethical
AI Assisted
AI helped with structure, research, and suggestions. You rewrote everything. Your ideas, your experience, your voice.
⚠️
Be Careful
AI Co-Written
Significant AI text that you edited but didn't fully rewrite. Be honest with your readers about the process.
❌
Not OK
AI Ghost-Written
AI wrote the entire book and you published it as your lived experience. This is misleading — and readers will sense it.
"The best AI users are the ones whose books still sound completely human — because they never stopped being the author."
