Frequently Asked Questions
Explore common questions about AI writing and self-publishing to gain clarity, avoid mistakes, and make smarter decisions as you plan, write, and market your content and books.
Yes, AI can help write a full book—but it works best as a co-author, not a replacement. You’ll still need to guide the structure, edit the content, and add your personal voice to create something truly original and useful.
Yes, it’s safe to use AI for writing—as long as you use it wisely. AI can help you generate ideas, drafts, and edits, but you should always review and personalize the content to ensure accuracy, originality, and your unique voice.
Yes, Amazon allows AI-written books, but you must disclose the use of AI when publishing through Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). You’re required to indicate whether the content was AI-generated or AI-assisted during the publishing process.
Yes, Google can rank AI-written content—as long as it is helpful, original, and created primarily for people, not just for search engines.
Google focuses on the quality of content, not whether it was written by a human or AI.
Yes, there are tools that try to detect AI-generated text, but they’re not always accurate. AI and human writing can look very similar—especially if the AI content has been edited. The best way to tell is by checking for patterns like repetition, vague language, or a lack of personal insight.
