Like in many other realms of human activity, Generative AI has spread its tentacles to writing and publishing. Authors find it tempting to use the Large Language Models of chatbots in their creation. AI-assisted writing in nonfiction has become unavoidable. This chapter discusses the applications and challenges of chatbots in writing and what publishers expect from authors regarding their use in submissions. The purpose of the chapter is to make authors think about the concerns AI raises when it’s used beyond improving the language, style and tone. Becoming aware of the potential and challenges of chatbots upfront helps authors make the right choice at the time of writing, not after the writing is done. The chapter invites authors’ attention to these complexities that emerged with the introduction of chatbots.
