Why does AI writing all sound the same? Because general models average toward the middle. Here are the tells that give AI prose away, how to check your own writing for them, and how to get an AI to write like you instead of like everyone.

A tour of how Sudowrite works: what Story Bible and Muse do, which tool fits each stage of your novel, and how to start from a blank page or a half-finished draft.
