It's very frustrating, and the demand for it is baffling to me. I just ran across a far more popular Substack writer wondering if it's "cheating" to have AI give substantive input--well beyond copy edits--to her Substack work.
Yes. Yes, it is cheating, and I'm baffled that a writer seeking payment for her work would admit to this in public.
Thank you for your passion as another wrote. I especially appreciated your fire to use the word, "damn". I am thoroughly annoyed at the arrogance of Google and others to through AI at us. I don't want it. Grammarly is abysmal. We are dumbing down our minds. I write non-fiction and while I do understand (AI would tell me to drop the "do" - emphasis!!!) I understand AI helping with mental efficiency, I like to exercise my mind fully. Artificial intelligence is ARTIFICIAL by our own definition. Does our enemy who hates mankind want to dumb us down? Sure. But he won't have mine, by the grace and power of the One who shares His mind with us. You keep going girl! Jesus cursed a fig tree. I am careful with "cursing" but some things are subtly wicked. Others are outright immoral.
Ok, I must have toggled something off very early on because I am NOT getting these AI prompts on Substack, thankfully. There must be something in the settings.
You’d think, right? And maybe! But I have not been able to find it. I suppose (??) it’s possible it’s the browser or some other layered application, but I don’t think so because I don’t get the suggestions in a different text editor with the same setup.
OK, it's not just me. I feel like I've had moments where I've had to *actively fight* Substack to use the word I wanted to use.

Thank you for expressing with such clarity and passion that which I have found to be incredibly soul deadening and disruptive to my own writing.
So disruptive! It's like having an unhelpful intern without capacity for learning reading over your shoulder and whispering in your ear
Yes!

I'll let you know if I figure it out!
Substack is not suggesting words to me!!! How do I fend off this monstrous possibility?!
