Ai, writing , and the sharp left turn.
If there’s one topic that’s been done to death, it’s Ai. The only people who will still have jobs are drug dealers and construction workers. Writers, accountants, even doctors? Not a chance.
I began to differ.
I’ve been using Ai a lot lately sometimes to get into my own rabbit hole and dig up some obscure facts, but also to write my long dormant book, Dark Side of God.
And it’s not so some bot, a bunch of code in its own words, can write my book for me. I look at what Ai does to fill the empty spaces left by my Stalinist editing and I think that I can write better. A lot better.
It’s because Ai doesn’t understand people. People will do the least obvious thing, such as breaking up a great relationship, either its own or someone else’s ,or maintain a relationship because well because
Ai will never leave the script because it can’t comprehend life in any meaningful way. It’s all predictable and wordy and actually boring to read. It will never give another character the middle finger or tell a girl that she looks great ,unless instructed .
But I do use it as a sounding board, to bounce ideas off of or just to make me think.

And since you did ask about my book Dark Side of God, it’s going well. Out of a starting count of 85000 words i scythe through 25000 and will probably end up with about 75000
The script is tighter, whole characters have been written out of the story and some new arcs have been included.
I intend to do my own editing formatting and will not spend money on advertising .Open mic nights and a transgressional cover which I did with Ai, will be my only draw.
And now that I mentioned it
This may be a bit too out there, and changes are possible.
But this is the idea, and it should be ready early next year
Cheers.
