The short answer is: no.

The long answer: Using AI-generated content could cause issues in multiple ways:

• If readers become aware of AI-generated content in your work, that can be a big turn-off. Readers generally want something genuinely human that they can connect to. If they bought your book, they'll probably feel cheated if they find out they paid you for what AI created, and put down the book. The money you spent on editing might end up going to waste.

• Publishers don't want to run the risk of lawsuits for plagiarism or other legal issues with AI-Generated content, since it cannot be copyrighted. Publishers will want to know that a book they're publishing is human-created. Agents pitching your books to publishers will also want to know this. It doesn't make sense for me to accept payment for editing work that's likely to get rejected because it can't be credited to you. I am not responsible for whether or not your work gets accepted, but I want to give you the best chance I can with my part in the process.

  Why is plagiarism a concern with generative AI? Because tech companies aren't always scrupulous about what they use to train AI. Where does the material come from? Other people's writing. These companies are not compensating creators fairly for use of their work, if they even get their consent. At least one major tech company has faced legal action for using pirated books to train their LLMs. Is the AI-generated content that you're using taken from someone else's creation? It's one thing to draw inspiration from others' works that resonate with you. It's another to lift someone else's words and unique ideas, then put your name on them without their consent. It's definitely unfair if you plan to make a profit off of this work, even if you give AI credit. You can't truly give a piece technology credit when it's using humans' work. As an editor, I want to do my part to protect writers and authors. So these are important reasons for me to not edit AI-generated content.

• When a writer's work is put into generative AI, it's more likely to get flagged as AI-generated, even in its original form, since it's now in the system. Don't do this to another writer without their knowing consent and their understanding of the potential issues. Proceed with caution when feeding your own work into AI. Make sure you understand how the company will use your intellectual property.

• AI may not give you the best results anyway. It may give you fast results. But they're likely include a lot of cliches, lifeless tropes, storylines that don't resonate, etc. Writing something that will genuinely connect with a human audience usually takes time, effort, and growth. Study the craft. Practice the skills. Get helpful human feedback. It's hard work, and sometimes frustrating. But as you hit milestones, it's likely to feel a lot more rewarding than if something/someone else did it for you. If you really don't want to put the time into writing your idea, that's fine. Work with a ghost writer. They're getting compensated for their work, they know that your name will be on it and are okay with that, and they should be able to connect with your audience.
