Abstract Text:

Due to recent advancements in generative AI, there is an apprehension in the entertainment industry, regarding the use of AI in place of human writers. Despite the potential uses for AI in aiding writers- making their work more efficient, and fostering new ideas, many fear AI as a threat to their livelihoods. The lack of clarity regarding the use of AI in creative processes negatively impacts writers who are having their careers threatened. A large cause of this issue is the lack of awareness regarding the extent to which AI can, or should, be used in creative works. If AI is used to aid, rather than replace, writers it could easily be a boon, rather than a threat. A study which evaluates the potential uses of currently existing AI writing assistants, would aid in understanding AI's current capacity for use in creative spaces. The study was conducted through the comparison of multiple, currently popular, AI writing assistants. A set of prompts was devised and given to the AI, responses were then evaluated via a rubric. This research gauges where the strengths and weaknesses of AI writing assistants currently lie, to gain a better understanding of their practical use cases.
