It’s mid-February 2025, and I wanted to jump on the Write the Book Inside You podcast to share some big news—plus a cautionary story about AI hallucinations that every writer using ChatGPT needs to hear.

AI Writing Summit 2.0 – February 17-21

Exciting news! I’ll be speaking on a panel at the upcoming AI Writing Summit 2.0 on “The Role of AI in Creative Writing: Enhancing vs. Replacing the Author’s Voice.” If you’re using AI in your writing process, you won’t want to miss this. Tickets are available now—check the links in the show notes.

The AI Hallucination That Almost Cost Me

I recently received a shocking DM:

“Lies, lies, lies. I never said this.”

It was from a UK photographer (who I'll call NR) claiming that everything I wrote about her in my book Bust Writer’s Block Forever was false. Was my face red! The message sent my heart racing—attached was a screenshot of page 50 of my book, where I had unknowingly included fabricated information.

So how did this happen? Well, when I asked ChatGPT to provide a real-life example of a midlife creative woman using Havening, it confidently told me that NR was a UK photographer who had shared her experience in Women’s Health UK. According to ChatGPT, she had said:

It was completely false.

How I Fixed the Mistake

As soon as I saw NR’s message, I took immediate action:

✅ I owned up to the mistake – I apologized and explained that ChatGPT had generated the false quotes.
✅ I took the book down immediately. One advantage of self-publishing is that I could pause the book on Amazon, correct the error, and republish the updated version.
✅ Crisis averted – Fortunately, NR was understanding and left it at that. But it could have gone very differently!

Key Takeaway: Always Fact-Check AI

If you’re using AI to assist with writing, remember: AI can make mistakes. Always verify its claims before publishing anything.
