Congratulations on your new release!

I'm not especially interested in what either Bezos or Musk has to say (especially not Musk--he seems incompetent and deranged). I think AI, like previous tech revolutions, will be a mix of good and bad, because humans are a mix of good and bad. Some people will use it for good, others for evil, same as they did with the internet.

Congratulations on the new book! I grabbed a copy and look forward to reading it. I never thought to use AI as a critique partner. Hmmm

Thanks for co-hosting this month's question, Lee. Bravo on your new release! And to your "pub sister." Both novels sound wonderful. Congratulations, ladies!

Congratulations, Lee. With your skills, I think AI will only be helpful. It is dangerous for new authors because they still have to test the waters and I fear they may already be heading towards repetition or redundancy with AI. I may be wrong.

So far I'm ignoring AI. I'm just not interested in learning to use new tools right now, and sorting out all the ethical implications. Thanks for co-hosting. http://samanthabryant.com

Thanks for cohosting today and congrats on the book release! I can definitely see how AI would be helpful for a synopsis and ad copy.

Thanks, Joyana. I think I'll experiment a bit more to see what else it can take off my plate.

Congrats on your book release.

I think it is a great idea to use AI for your advertising copy. Synopsis, blurb, etc.

I do too. They're so tedious to write. I'd rather put my time into the more creative aspects of writing.

I'm kind of against using AI, though the line between that and any ordinary google search is fuzzy at best. But I don't trust AI "research" since it's known to just make stuff up. As for the quotes above, not sure either is quite right, but I remain unconvinced that we want what AI is giving us.

I'd rather go with Bezos' idea. I dislike Musk's almost as much as I dislike the man.

I agree with you about both Musk's idea and his self, but worry that he might be closer to the truth. I'm not a Luddite, but I'm not 100% confident that technology will save us. Not just any and all tech, anyway.
