I am technologically curious and really enjoyed what little I’ve learned about using AI for creative writing. Enough that I’d like to learn more. I am concerned about how AI has been trained and what that means as far as copywrite for authors. But I think for generating ideas, characters, and other items that aren’t actual writing, AI could be very useful.

Online courses:

• AI for Authors with Joe Nicoletti. Joe did the presentation thru ProWritingAid seminar and was very enthusiastic!
• The AI-Assisted Author by the Creative Penn. I’ve been listening to Joanna’s writing podcast for years and love it. I always get such great info from it. I’m tempted to do this course!
• Unleash Your Creative Writing with AI on Udemy. “How to Use Technology to be Creative.” There seems to be a lot on Udemy, so I have no idea as to the quality of these courses.

Write an entire novel with AI? Sudowrite. I’ve listened to The Creative Penn’s podcast with Amit Gupta from Sudowrite and it’s worth a listen to hear their side of the AI and creative writing debate. I am technologically curious enough to at least give it a try.
