Google Docs is a decent Word substitute. I like that it saves automatically and is accessible from anywhere, so I no longer have to worry about saving docs to flash drives to move between my desktop and laptop. The biggest downside I've encountered is that it has a word count limit. My super long stories literally won't fit in one document on Google LOL. But I don't even have Word anymore, so it's either that or Open Office.Thankfully, my 4th graders are too young try using AI. The most they do is plagiarize by copy/pasting directly from the internet, which is painfully obvious. But I feel for teachers of older students. I think it would be hard to detect and even harder to prove, since you can input the same prompt and get a different result each time.The toolbar keeps popping up each time I open my story, so this time, I let it come up with a list of suggestions. One of the suggestions was: "The sentence beginning with "The tiny bra top showed plenty of cleavage..." could be rephrased to be less sexually suggestive." Considering that sentence was in a sex scene, I'd say being sexually suggestive was the point LOL. It also finds my use of medical terminology in a hospital scene "vulgar" and thinks some of my sentences are too wordy. The last part is probably true, but otherwise, I'll take its advice with a grain of salt.
