In our tenth episode, your fellow nerds Mercurio and Matt discuss the topic du jour: Writing and AI! We discuss common misconceptions about writing, such as the misapprehension that the work is merely coming up with a good idea, about authorship and plagiarism, Ted Chiang’s essay in The New Yorker about choices and how they make a work of art, what defines art, methods of communication, the subtle nuances that make stories “real”, why beginning authors should avoid using AI, how AI can erase your unique voice and style, how much of AI training data is stolen, why we aren’t automating laundry, housework, and taxes, why  writers may be tempted by the shortcut that AI offers, Hollywood, advice for aspiring authors, and more! This was a fun and timely discussion!
