Authentically Authoring in the Age of AI Slop

To provide a bit more context on this: I’m the technical half of the team behind the Native of Nowhere trilogy.

We’re documenting our process of building a 'Lore Auditor' system—essentially a private vector database of our world-building notes. We use it to 'stress-test' the plot for continuity across 300,000 words. For example, if we establish a rule about Lucarn shapeshifting in Book 1, the auditor flags any physical contradictions we accidentally write into Book 3.

We’ve found that by 'air-gapping' the AI from the actual prose, we can maintain an artisan level of authenticity that resonates with readers who are currently boycotting generative content. I’m happy to answer any questions about the technical stack (Squarespace/Vellum/CAPI) or how we manage 'Technical Debt' in a long-form sci-fi series.
