The Inevitable AI Episode: Not Everybody is Meant to Be a Writer

In this episode, I explore the evolving landscape of AI tools and their role in the creativity and publishing. In particular, I discuss this article (https://www.thebookseller.com/comment/craft-and-creativity - needs to be in the show notes) and respond to the claims of a utopia-like future of unihibited creativity that the author seems to purport AI will enable us to create. Ultimately, I make the argument that AI has its use cases– such as in business, bulk data analysis, and could even be leveraged by authors and writers for rote and mundane tasks, but that it cannot replace the creative process. I also caution creators on the downsides of AI tooling, such as its environmental impact, intellectual property ambiguity, and exploitation of creators' work.
