AI is killing your writing

from The Page & Podium Podcast with Dr. Amanda Nell Edgar · host Page & Podium Press

AI is here, and many writers are turning to it. It can produce words much faster than any human can--but does that mean it's actually helping? Is producing your work faster than you can read and evaluate it carefully actually saving you time? Over the past year, we've been taking careful stock of how LLMs--ChatGPT in particular--works and its effects on writing and writers. We are not impressed. AI isn't really helping you become a stronger writer; in fact, it's killing your writing. Part of the process of becoming a writer is learning how to read like a writer--to see the bones of structure and past the words to what choices the author is making and why they are (or aren't) working in the interest of the story. That's why Page and Podium is excited to announce our upcoming new Memoir Method Book Club, where each month we will be reading and examining a memoir with a writer's eye to learn more about what we can apply (or avoid) in our own work. 📅 New videos every Tuesday - subscribe and never miss an update!
