As always, Elizabeth, these links are so very helpful! There are several this time about AI, and I'm glad we're discussing it. My thinking is, AI isn't going away. We might as well find ways to harness it and use it as a tool (and keep tabs on it to the extent we can), rather than try to ignore it.
You’re so very right. It’s like Pandora’s Box…it’s open now, ha. I use AI every day as a writing assistant. Much better than pretending it isn’t there.
Thanks for including my post at the IWSG site. Did you see that Anne R Allen posted about the same thing last week? What are the odds?
Great minds think alike!
Hi Elizabeth – "Why Human Writing Is Worth Defending In the Age of ChatGPT: by Naomi S. Baron" – absolutely essential … and being yourself with your creative art … ie authorship. The Writer's Knowledge Base – must have masses of so many useful ideas, subjects required by writers … a wonderful resource … cheers Hilary
My latest post does not fall into the good writing slot! Amusing = yes … but authorship only by me!
There are so many great posts in the WKB! It can be a real rabbit hole. :)
Your posts are always excellent and informative, Hilary!
