March IWSG: Using AI

Today, we ponder artificial intelligence. Do you use it? 

The Insecure Writer’s Support Group is the creation of science fiction writer Alex J. Cavanaugh . You can find his books here. He started the IWSG, “To share and encourage. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It’s a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds!”  The IWSG’s website offers resources and a support group. Join the blog hop the first Wednesday of each month here! 

This month’s awesome co-hosts are Kristina Kelly, Miffie Seideman, Jean Davis, and Liza @ Middle Passages!  Go visit when you can. 

Optional Question: Have you "played" with AI to write those nasty synopses, or do you refuse to go that route? How do you feel about AI's impact on creative writing?

I have not played with AI, but am not against doing so. Like the internet, it’s a tool to be used as intended. Right now, I see it as a generator of ideas based on what a human has requested, but there is certainly more to come. As yet, I don’t think that artificial intelligence can produce what the creative mind can produce, as a complete package, but it’s coming. 

With that being said, there is a dangerous element to building on AI's expertise, I think. Hey, I’ve watched movies where AI has taken over the world. I mean, it could happen. 😎 Don’t turn your back on it. 

How about you? What are your thoughts on AI? Is there a place for it in the writer’s world.
