How to Avoid Plagiarism When Using AI to Write Novels

With the rapid development of AI technology, more and more writers are beginning to use AI to assist in novel creation. However, how to avoid plagiarism issues while using AI has become an important topic that creators must face. This article will explore how to avoid plagiarism when using AI to write novels and how to properly use AI tools to improve creative efficiency.

Why Does AI Novel Writing Easily Lead to Plagiarism Issues?

AI large models have learned a vast amount of text content from the internet during training, including novels, articles, news, and various other texts. When users directly ask AI to generate complete novel content, AI is likely to create based on similar content from its training data, which easily leads to plagiarism issues.

As one author mentioned in an article: "We can think of a large model as a specific person, for example, we can think of DeepSeek as a very thoughtful and knowledgeable writer. The question of originality becomes whether you are plagiarizing this writer."

Correct AI-Assisted Creative Methods

1. Let AI Play a Supporting Role, Not Lead Creation

The correct approach is to let AI play a supporting role in efficiency improvement, rather than completely relying on AI for creation. Specifically:

  • Text Expression: Let AI help polish text and adjust sentence structure
  • Story Core: Must be completed by the writer, including core concepts, key plots, character settings, etc.
  • Inspiration Acquisition: Can get creative inspiration through dialogue with AI, but must integrate your own unique thinking

2. Structured Creation Through FeelFish

First Define Characters and Settings

In FeelFish, you can first define in detail:

  • Character Settings: Core characteristics such as personality, background, motivation
  • Worldview Settings: Environment, rules, historical background where the story takes place
  • Item Settings: Important props, weapons, magical items, etc.
  • Scene Settings: Descriptions and atmosphere of key locations

Create Based on Settings

With detailed settings, let AI create specific content based on these settings, rather than letting AI freely create. This ensures:

  • The core concept of the story comes from the author
  • AI only fills in specific content according to settings
  • Avoids AI directly copying content from training data

3. Application of Smart Context Rules

FeelFish's smart context function can automatically update rules based on novel content, helping maintain creative consistency:

By setting creative rules, you can:

  • Define the style and tone of the novel
  • Set creative guidelines and precautions
  • Ensure AI creates according to your requirements

How to Determine if Content is Original?

Based on the judgment standard of "has it passed through your brain":

Situations Considered Original:

  • You gained inspiration through AI, then processed it with your own thinking into a new story
  • You defined the core settings of the story, AI only helped fill in specific content
  • You made extensive modifications and reorganization to AI's output

Situations Not Considered Original:

  • Completely copying AI's output content
  • Simply modifying character names, place names and other details generated by AI
  • Using AI content directly without deep thinking through your own brain

Creative Suggestions

1. Clarify Creative Goals

Before starting creation, first clarify the core themes and emotions you want to express, which is your original foundation.

2. Deeply Participate in the Setting Process

When creating characters and settings in FeelFish, inject your own thinking and creativity, don't simply let AI generate them.

3. Maintain Creative Control

Always remember that AI is just your creative tool, the real creative control should be in your hands.

4. Regularly Review Content

During the creative process, regularly check whether the content truly reflects your original thinking.

Conclusion

AI will not destroy originality; the key lies in how to use it correctly. Through professional tools like FeelFish, combined with correct creative methods, we can enjoy the convenience brought by AI while maintaining the originality of our works. Remember, true originality comes from your thinking, and AI is just a tool to help you better express these thoughts.
