Exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence and writing. Covering AI tools for writers, the impact of AI on writing, best practices for implementation, and how writers can adapt to this evolving technology while maintaining their creative voice.
The digital world is buzzing with one burning question: Will artificial intelligence replace writers and artists? Short answer: Not a chance.
The Fear of Technological Disruption
One of the most recognisable and made-fun-of-catch cries in history, thanks to South Park. First, it was the women, then the immigrants, then computers, robots, self serve checkouts. But, unfortunately, some small-minded people are still scared of pretty much every single one of those coming to take their jobs.
Some are justified in their fears because they suck at their job. Spend too much time complaining about someone coming to take it, protesting about it. So not only do they suck at it, they suck at even trying to do it. The job still has to get done, right?
Consider these eye-opening statistics:
The World Economic Forum predicts that by 2025, while machines may displace 80 million jobs, they’ll simultaneously create 100 million new jobs in the IT industry alone.
A Harvard Business Review article (November 2, 2021) emphasizes that automation is about job transformation, not just job destruction.
My Personal AI Experiment: Art and Writing
Let me share a personal experience that perfectly illustrates AI’s limitations. When I needed an image for my award-winning short story “Santa’s Snow Globe”, I spent a week wrestling with AI art generators. The result? Frustration and zero progress.
None of them came close to getting what I wanted. I’m no expert on AI word prompting, but a few better than I had a go, they got the main part of the image…. close. It was painfully clear that I was going to need a human artist.
Someone that could get a “feel” for what I wanted. Start working on it, and show some draft work. Some back-and-forth, suggestions from the writer and the artist. Working together. We eventually got close enough to what I wanted, we had a timeframe issue as well. The turnaround was less than 72 hours. The artist was a friend and was happy to work for % of sales and winnings. You can’t do that with AI.
I would have happily paid up front too. Pay people what they are worth, for the work they do. I get quotes most of the time, time permitting, I don’t haggle. If it’s within my budget, I’ll pay. If it’s not, I don’t get it done.
Anyway, I’d spent a week or more trying to get this image through AI and had ended up frustrated and hadn’t written my story either. While she was working on the art, I wrote my story. The art was finished before the story was. The lesson I learnt, artists aren’t being replaced by AI. Not the talented ones, for work like that. The other lesson I learnt is, don’t waste so much time with AI.
I discovered something crucial: talented artists bring something AI cannot – human intuition, creativity, and nuanced understanding.
The Unbeatable Human Touch in Writing
AI can generate text, but it can’t replicate:
Your unique voice
Authentic emotional depth
Creative intuition
Personalized storytelling
When I challenged ChatGPT to write in my style, it failed spectacularly. The generated story was bland, missing the raw authenticity that defines my writing.
ChatGPT apologised for the misunderstanding and wrote another short story in my style.
Did it, though?
Not even close. I found the story not only relatively bland, but it had a feel-good ending to it. *shudder*.
For a long time, many writers would be scared of someone taking their idea and writing their story. Myself included. As I got older, I realised something. So what? What if they do? For starters, if they get it out and published before you do. Good on them. That’s on you. You had a head start and you blew it. More importantly, no one will write my story idea, the way I will write it. And lastly, it won’t be written with my “voice”.
AI as a Tool, Not a Replacement
Here’s my perspective: AI is a tool, much like any other technological advancement. It can:
Assist with repetitive tasks
Provide writing suggestions
Help overcome writer’s block
But it cannot replace the magic of human creativity.
Ethical AI Use in Writing
If you choose to use AI in your writing process, transparency is key. My recommendation?
My only sticking point was, I believe, being transparent. That’s my opinion. If I used AI to assist me in writing an article. It’ll be clear to my readers that I have. I will say, AI wrote X percent of this. I wrote the other X per cent. Or, as in this article, you’ll soon see. Screenshots of my conversation with AI.
How you display that is up to you. I have no doubt we’ll see a backlash against those that use AI without being transparent about it with their followers and the public. People will feel cheated. Will lose trust in that artist or writer. Trust takes time to build. It can be destroyed in seconds. Value it.
The Future of Writing in an AI World
Writers shouldn’t fear AI – they should learn to work alongside it. Enhance your skills, stay curious, and remember: no algorithm can replicate your unique perspective.
As I always say, “It’s been done before!” But not with your voice, your style, your creativity.
Key Takeaways:
AI transforms jobs, it doesn’t eliminate them
Human creativity remains irreplaceable
Transparency is crucial when using AI writing tools
Embrace AI as a collaborative tool, not a competitor
Lastly, my conversation with ChatGP from a Mar 2023, things have changed a little.
Join the Writers Without Walls Community
Are you ready to navigate the AI writing landscape? The future belongs to those who adapt, innovate, and stay true to their creative spirit.
At Writers Without Walls, we believe in a simple mission: writing tools should assist writers, not replace them. We’re building a community of forward-thinking creators who see AI as a collaborative partner, not a competitor.
A recent interaction with a writer using StorySensAI sparked an interesting conversation that perfectly captured why I spent a year developing this tool. Their response was humorous and insightful:
“The application is quite complete, it analyzes your story from a lot of angles and doesn’t mince words… The best thing is that this way I hate the AIs more and not the human beings who criticize my writing.”
The Psychology of Writing Feedback
We’ve all been there. You share your first story with friends or family, and their response is predictable: they love it. It’s amazing. These well-meaning loved ones tell us white lies to spare our feelings. While their intentions are good, this creates two significant problems.
The Impostor Syndrome Trap
First, as readers, we usually know deep down what quality our writing is. When we receive over-the-top praise, something interesting happens: instead of logically recognizing it as gentle encouragement, we internalize it. Then our subconscious mind, always trying to protect us, starts its sabotage campaign.
To shield us from the pain of honest feedback, it plants seeds of doubt. We stop sharing our work because we fear being exposed as imposters. The safest path becomes never trying at all.
The Ego Inflation Problem
The second scenario is equally problematic. Sometimes, we let our ego embrace the narrative that we’re amazing writers. We might be okay, or even good, but believing we’re already exceptional removes any drive to improve. This can lead to years of stagnation until someone finally provides honest feedback. And it crushes us.
The Birth of StorySensAI
This psychological minefield is exactly where the concept of StorySensAI originated. AI doesn’t love you. It doesn’t understand or care about your feelings unless programmed to do so. And that’s where I hit my first challenge: most AI models are programmed to be non-confrontational, avoiding criticism and sugar-coating their responses.
Breaking Free from Sugar-Coating
When I started building StorySensAI, it fell into the same trap as other AI tools – being overly generous with ratings and consistently positive feedback. It would give my early stories, written 20-30 years ago, scores of 4 out of 5 or higher. As their author, I knew better.
While these stories were meaningful to my development and enjoyed by readers, they weren’t masterpieces deserving such high scores. More importantly, if a story I wrote at 21 scored 4.5 out of 5, where was the room for growth? How could this reflect the improvement in my writing after 30 years of life experience?
The Year-Long Journey to Honesty
It took a full year of development and refinement to get StorySensAI to provide genuinely useful feedback and accurate scoring. The breakthrough moment? When it rated one of my early stories at 2.75 out of 5. That sting of criticism told me we were finally on the right track.
But accurate scoring was just the beginning. We needed consistency and constructive criticism. Specific tips for improving our writing.
Why Honest AI Feedback Matters
Unlike ChatGPT and other AI models programmed to be eternally encouraging, StorySensAI follows a different philosophy. It’s not here to make you feel good – it’s here to help you become better.
When my newest story achieved a 4 out of 5, it meant something real. The detailed breakdown showed exactly where improvements could be made, providing actionable insights rather than vague encouragement.
The Human Element
It’s important to note that AI doesn’t always get everything right. StorySensAI assesses writing from a technical viewpoint, and you don’t have to accept every suggestion. As humans, we’re unpredictable, we break rules, often deliberately, for specific effects. This is something AI can’t fully grasp, which is precisely why using AI to write your story is pointless. It can’t capture YOUR authentic voice.
The SensAI Triad Philosophy
SensAI Triad logo
StorySensAI, along with its partners SummarySensAI and ConceptSensAI, form the SensAI Triad. Each tool evolved to meet specific needs in the writing journey, but they all share one fundamental principle: they will never write or rewrite for you. Not even a single sentence. This is a line we won’t cross.
The Evolution of SummarySensAI
SummarySensAI logo
What started as a support tool for StorySensAI, helping to maintain plot consistency during analysis, has grown into something more comprehensive. SummarySensAI now helps writers create promotional summaries for their work, crafting intriguing teasers for social media that capture readers’ interest without spoiling the story.
ConceptSensAI and the Myth of “No New Stories”
ConceptSensAI logo
ConceptSensAI was born from a common discouraging comment in writing circles: “There are no new stories to write about – they’ve all been done before.” This tool challenges that notion by analyzing how your unique perspective brings fresh life to classic themes.
I could share one of my own unique story concepts as an example here, but that highlights another reality of being a writer – the natural hesitation to share our ideas publicly before they’re fully realized! This is exactly why ConceptSensAI is valuable – you can test your concept’s uniqueness privately, getting feedback on whether your twist on a classic theme brings something new to the table, all without revealing your story idea to potential… let’s say, ‘inspiration seekers.’
The Power of Individual Voice
But here’s the thing about story ideas, even if I shared my concept and someone tried to write it, they couldn’t write my story. They might use the same premise, but they’d write their version, with their voice, their experiences, and their understanding of human nature. Just like AI can’t replicate human creativity, no writer can truly replicate another writer’s voice.
This is what makes writing so uniquely human. Two writers could start with the identical premise – a haunted house, a love triangle, a heist gone wrong – and end up with completely different stories. It’s not just about the plot points; it’s about the writer’s voice, their perspective, their way of seeing and describing the world. This is something ConceptSensAI understands and factors into its analysis – it’s not just about whether a concept has been done before, but how your unique voice and perspective might bring something new to it.
Looking Forward
Today, when writers interact with StorySensAI, they might wince at its directness, but they know they’re getting genuine feedback. As our user humorously noted, they can direct their frustration at the AI rather than human critics. Behind this joke lies an important truth: real improvement comes from facing honest feedback, not gentle platitudes.
The journey from those early, overly generous ratings to today’s precise, honest feedback system mirrors the path many writers take: moving from seeking validation to embracing constructive criticism. It’s not always comfortable, but it’s always valuable.

Written by James “JD” Armstrong Founder, Writers Without Walls
Writers Without Walls is a community of writers who believe that creativity knows no boundaries. We are a group of individuals from diverse backgrounds, cultures, and experiences, united by a common passion for writing. Our mission is to provide a platform for writers to connect, collaborate, and create without the limitations of physical walls.
In today’s world, technology has made it possible to connect with people from all over the globe, and we believe it’s time to break down the walls that have traditionally separated writers. We want to create a space where writers can share ideas, learn from each other, and inspire one another.
Our goal is not to compete with any web3 or hybrid online publisher. Instead, our aim is to support them. Writers Without Walls will become a centralized, decentralized hub for decentralization in writing. By creating this platform, we offer all web3 and hybrid platforms for writers a chance to compete with the big names in traditional and self-publishing, which have long commoditized our creativity. United, we can bring this revolution to fruition. Currently, as someone deeply involved in web3 since 2017, I see that we are tiny fish in a massive ocean, unnoticed by writers and readers alike, let alone the big players. We need to change this and bring about a transformation in the industry.
Our community is open to writers of all levels, from beginners to professionals. We believe everyone has a story to tell, and we want to help writers find their voice and share their stories with the world. Whether you are a novelist, poet, journalist, or blogger, we welcome you to join us and be part of our community.
Through our online platform, we offer a variety of resources and tools to help writers improve their craft, including workshops, writing prompts, and feedback from other writers. We also provide opportunities for writers to showcase their work and connect with publishers and literary agents.
At Writers Without Walls, we believe that writing is not just a solitary activity but a collaborative one. We invite you to join us and be part of a community that celebrates creativity, diversity, and the power of words. Together, we can break down the walls that have kept us apart and create a world where writers can thrive.
The mission and goals of Writers Without Walls, which is to break down the barriers that traditional industry and web2 conglomerates use to control writers. The organization aims to empower writers by decentralizing the industry and giving individual writers more control over their work.
Decentralization is the idea of distributing power away from a central authority, allowing individuals or smaller organizations to have more control over their affairs. In the context of writing, decentralization means that writers can publish their work without having to rely on a centralized publishing house or platform.
This is made possible through the use of blockchain technology, which allows for a decentralized, peer-to-peer network where writers can share their work with others. By doing so, writers can maintain greater control over their work, including ownership, distribution, and monetization.
Decentralization also allows writers to reach a broader audience, as they are no longer limited to traditional publishing channels. It also enables them to connect more directly with their readers, without having to go through intermediaries such as agents or publishers. The use of blockchain technology also provides greater transparency and accountability in the publishing process, as all transactions are recorded and publicly visible.
Writers Without Walls is more than just a community of writers, it is a movement. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to share their stories and have their voices heard. By breaking down the walls that have traditionally separated writers, we can create a world where creativity knows no bounds.
We invite you to join us and be a part of this movement. Whether you are a writer or simply someone who loves to read, we welcome you to our community. Together, we can build a world where writers can thrive and the power of words can change lives. Writers Without Walls also emphasizes the importance of breaking down mental barriers that writers may put up to sabotage themselves. This is an important aspect of the organization’s mission because many writers struggle with self-doubt and imposter syndrome, which can prevent them from achieving their full potential.
Writer’s block: Writers Without Walls can help overcome writer’s block with writing prompts, group writing exercises, and writing challenges. Writing in a supportive and collaborative environment can help get the creative juices flowing and break through writer’s block.
Fear of judgement or criticism: Writers Without Walls is a safe and inclusive community that encourages writers to express themselves without fear of judgment or criticism. Members provide constructive feedback in a supportive and respectful way, which can help writers overcome their fear of sharing their work.
Perfectionism: Writers Without Walls encourages writers to prioritize progress over perfection. Members are encouraged to write their first drafts without worrying about getting everything right the first time. Through feedback and revision, writers can improve their work over time and reach their full potential.
At Writers Without Walls, we believe that everyone has the potential to be a great writer. By breaking down physical and mental barriers, we can create a community that empowers writers to share their stories and achieve their dreams. Join us today and become a part of the movement to revolutionize the writing industry through decentralization and collaboration.
Finally, Writers Without Walls emphasizes the importance of diversity and inclusivity in the industry. Writers Without Walls believes that readers should decide what the market is, who the popular authors are, and who deserves accolades, irrespective of gender, colour, or any minority group they belong to. This approach is important because it ensures that talented writers from all backgrounds have an equal opportunity to succeed in the industry.
Diversity and inclusivity are vital in the industry as they bring different perspectives and experiences to the table, resulting in more comprehensive and impactful content. It also ensures that underrepresented groups have a voice and are given equal opportunities. Writers Without Walls can promote diversity and inclusivity by:
Encouraging writers of all backgrounds and identities to join and participate in their programs.
Hosting workshops and events that highlight and explore the experiences of marginalized communities.
Providing resources and support for writers from underrepresented groups.
Ensuring that their leadership and staff reflect the diversity they aim to promote.
Collaborating with other organizations and individuals who share similar values and goals.
The Problem
The problem statement for the Writers Without Walls whitepaper is that traditional publishing is difficult to break into, and there are many demands by agents and publishers with little assistance given and little remuneration. Additionally, there is a problem with the web2 monopoly by Amazon, where the algorithm works against the average writer. Writers are expected to have their day job, family life, and write, while also having to maintain all social media platforms and engage. This creates a lot of pressure and can be time-consuming, which can hinder creativity and productivity. When do writers get to write?
Writers Without Walls aims to solve these problems by using existing tools to make one post and engage on all platforms, streamlining the process and saving time. They also plan to implement other tools, such as social and gaming blackouts, for productivity. The front end of the shop will display books in all available formats, and the backend of the profile will allow publishers, agents, editors, etc., to request an audience with the writer. The goal is to turn the industry on its head, freeing creativity and art, and as a result, freeing writers.
In summary, the problem statement for the Writers Without Walls whitepaper is that traditional publishing is difficult to break into, and there are many demands on writers with little assistance given and little remuneration. Writers Without Walls aims to solve these problems by streamlining the process and saving time, implementing tools for productivity, and creating a platform that allows writers to showcase their work and connect with publishers, agents, and editors.

Technical Details
Writers Without Walls is starting as a community with a newsletter, and they plan to build their platform with the help of their community. Our community which is free to join can be found at WritersWithoutWalls on Patreon
We aim to create the organisation ultimately as a DAO. Built on blockchain technology. The aim is not to compete with existing writing platforms but to offer a hub where writers can showcase their work across all the platforms they choose to use. A centralised, decentralised hub, so to speak.
DAO stands for Decentralised Autonomous Organisation. It is an organisation that is run by rules encoded as computer programs called smart contracts. These smart contracts are self-executing and automatically enforce the rules without the need for intermediaries.
By creating the organisation as a DAO, Writers Without Walls aims to create a decentralised platform where the community has a say in the decision-making process. This means that the community members will have a say in the direction the organisation takes, and they will be able to vote on important decisions.
By starting as a community with a newsletter and building the platform with the help of the community, Writers Without Walls aims to create a decentralised platform, ultimately as a DAO. This will ensure that the community has a say in the decision-making process and the platform is transparent and secure.
Token Economics
The token economics are to be confirmed at a later date. We are exploring the various options and legal ramifications of those for the platform and for users before going forward with anything. We are discussing the potential launch of a new cryptocurrency called EAP (Edgar Allan Poe), with fractionals being an SK (Stephen King). These aren’t set in stone, as again, we need to explore the legalities. The names chosen are just a nod to two of the founders’ favourite writers. We also considering the possibility of individual creator coins being released at a later date, but only after the creators have read and understood the financial, legal, and mental health risks associated with it.
The details of how the cryptocurrency will work and be distributed are still being worked out. This is an important aspect of any cryptocurrency launch, as it determines how the tokens will be valued and traded.
Alexandria Library Reborn
At a later date we aim to build a digital Alexandria Library. It is a unique feature of the platform that allows authors to lease their books to the library, and readers can access any book in the inventory for a subscription fee. This feature is beneficial for both authors and readers.
For authors, it provides an opportunity to showcase their work and gain exposure. By leasing their books to the library, they can reach a wider audience and potentially gain new fans. Additionally, any tips from readers go directly to the writer, which can be a source of income.
For readers, the Alexandria Library provides a vast selection of books to choose from. They can access the books on their devices or enter the VR/AR world and read their book anywhere they can imagine. This feature provides a unique and immersive reading experience that traditional libraries cannot offer.
The subscription fees from readers will be split equally between all writers and the platform (details tbc). This ensures that writers are fairly compensated for their work, and the platform can continue to operate and provide this service to readers.
Services
