August 7 question – Do you use AI in your writing and if so how? Do you use it for your posts? Incorporate it into your stories? Use it for research? Audio?
Jayden: Nope. I haven’t used it at all, and I don’t plan to. I wish that it were different. I have some friends who use AI art to make social media posts. But I have a lot of artist friends, and my understanding is that they used other people’s art to base the AI art off of without credit. I can’t get behind that. Given my lack of social media posting, I wonder if AI art would help me, but I just…can’t.
Richard: I’m going to assume this question is about generative AI, since AFAIK just about everyone uses at least a spellchecker. I don’t use generative AI in my writing since, for all the headlines it’s grabbing, it still sucks. Also, less fun. If I wanted to not write, I would just not write. I’m sure crafting the prompts carefully and stuff is fun for some people, but not what I’m into.

I don’t use AI for my writing or anything else… To me it just feels like cheating and where is the creativity in that?

AI could certainly be used in better ways. Sometimes it feels like we’re fish watching the robots chat with each other, wishing instead they’d clean the tank or something.

I have thought about using AI to help with brainstorming, but I definitely wouldn’t want it to write the words for me. That feels like cheating.

Brainstorming is a good idea. I bet it could also generate a list of random names, places, characteristics, etc. that I could pick from. That has some possibilities!
