Author uses zero AI for manuscript writing but employs EditGPT and Gemini for editing and art

Author Matt W. Baker shared his experience using AI tools while writing his book, Unconventional Wisdom. He clarified that he used zero AI for writing the manuscript itself, relying entirely on human authorship for the text.
However, AI was utilized for auxiliary tasks:
- Copy Editing: He used a tool called @editgpt to assist with editing.
- Cover Art: He used Google Gemini to generate the cover artwork.
This case illustrates a specific workflow where AI serves as a supporting tool for editing and design rather than replacing the creative writing process.
