An AI Writers Summit ran online last week. While there was some self-selection bias, with those unsupportive or concerned about being associated with AI tools not attending, it was still a very interesting event. AI is becoming more integrated into so many aspects of writing, from editing software to assisting in concept development.
Where can AI be useful? To aid those with marvelous stories but undeveloped writing skills. To assist writers with bridging “writer’s block” moments. Or to generate additional documentation from existing text, e.g. expanding a tweet into an essay, and developing marketing content.
Will I ever use it? Well, I kinda already am via the editing software. But as far as using it for brainstorming or story development—nope. Lucky for me, those jabbering mad muses keep me on my toes already.
Meanwhile, I’m still whacking away at Jim’s saga in The Yards. And despite the wholesale slaughter of old prose and grafting of much better words, I’m on schedule.
This week marks almost halfway through my birthday sale on Bookapy. Again, thanks to those of you supporting my efforts and the site through your purchases.
Hugs.
