Welcome
readers, writers, authors, and bloggers!
We're
glad you're here! It's the First Wednesday of the month, when we
celebrate IWSG Day in the form of a blog hop
featuring members and guests of the Insecure Writer's Support Group. Founded by author Alex
Cavanaugh (Thank
you, Captain!) and fostered by like-minded associates, IWSG is a comfortable
place to share views and literary news as we record our journeys. Check out the
March newsletter here.
The awesome co-hosts for the March 6 posting of the IWSG are Kristina Kelly, Miffie Seideman, Jean Davis, and Liza @ Middle
Passages!
Every month, we announce a question that members can answer
in their IWSG posts. These questions may prompt you to share advice, insight, a
personal experience or story. Include your answer to the question in your IWSG
post or let it inspire your post if you are struggling with something to
say.
Remember, the question is optional!
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?
No, I haven’t played with AI. I’m too busy hiding from it. I
don’t trust any application that may well have been programmed by someone in a
very bad mood the day the program was “born.” I wonder if users of a program
(comprised of the thoughts of the programmer), which might here on out be considered
“all anyone needs to know about creativity,” could truly produce anything original?
Can you sue a machine for plagiarism? I like keeping things
real.
As far as getting an AI-composed synopsis, I’m skeptical. But
it might be worth a try. When it comes to something as personal as creativity, there
should be no contest between humans and machines.
I believe everything has a place in this world, but you won’t
find weeds in a vase on my table. And I won’t be accepting AI as exceptional in
terms of creativity.
According to my writing app (yes, I do use some
applications), I’m off to a good start this year. I can almost hear clapping in
the background ;-)
Happy Writing!
