Hello Lisa, I'm late to this post. I am looking forward to AIs being available to write the first draft of scenes. I would be able to write more books. It will work when the AI can take in detailed requirements for a scene to be written, like the characters, the character psychology, and the emotions involved. The writer would also need to be able to define the scene elements, the orientation, the scene stimulus, progressive involvement, the stake flip, the introspection, the climactic action, and the conclusion. If you ever come across an AI that can do that, please give me a shout.

Fascinating, Lisa. Thanks for sharing about these. I have played around with AI generated images to help better visualize my fantasy settings. I can see this helping in some of ways as you mentioned as well.

In reply to Winona Cross. Now THAT is a story, Winona! Love that analogy.

In reply to Denise. That's it exactly, Denise. AIs tend to go to the outrageous if they try to be creative. With humans, we have an intuitive balance of what is believable with what we can get away with.

Great post. Thought-provoking. It might be interesting. Reminds me of Mardi Gras King Cake and finding the baby in my slice.

I can see it as a tool, but it can't replace the human imagination needed for deeper storytelling.

In reply to Jenny Hansen. AIs are great for processing that level of data and narrowing down the options. Huge help!

I am absolutely a fan of using AI for text. When I am struggling with where to go on an article for a client, especially for the headlines or great structure, one of the tricks in my bag is Peppertype.ai.

I never use their exact suggestions because I can do better, but I do often use their keywords or one of their research points. It saves me a ton of time - the AI knows what's trending better than I do and sometimes this human is TIRED.

In reply to Lynette M Burrows. I've been using the free version, Lynette. The paid version is on my wish list for "someday" but I don't like subscriptions and while they do have a lifetime plan, it doesn't quite fit what I need... yet. During the lockdown, they offered the paid tools for free for a while, and that was great, but that was before this AI offering. I've seen both good and bad ideas come out of Ubersuggest. I keep dice on my desk. When I get stuck, I list out my options and roll the dice. I don't always go with the dice roll, but often something will come up and I'll say, "UGH! I don't want to do that..." and then I know that one is wrong. Then I'll roll again. LOL Helps my brain actually make choices. AI can be another form of that, getting a rough draft down so you can see if it is a concept worth pursuing. This is similar to the way some professional artists are using Midjourney - to generate prototype compositions quickly, and then the human takes over and does something even more amazing,
