As of today, May 19, 2024, here is how I’ve used generative AI/LLM tools.
I am experimenting more and more with AI tools. I have found them invaluable to my creative process. I want to be a great writer. To me, that means:
- Imagining worlds
- Creating compelling characters and conflict
- Saying something with my writing
- If I'm lucky: Helping my reader feel a little more pain free, worry free, surrounded by love, and having fun.
To me, writing is not:
- Finding exactly the right words
- Pouring over grammar and syntax
- Prose that gives academics a boner
To that end, I use AI to help me construct sentences once I know the story I want to tell. This often takes weeks and tens of thousands of words in exploratory writing.
I'm also playing with AI to create images and voices for audio transcriptions. I would prefer to collaborate with other artists, and I will, but until then I will work with my AI buddies.
