AI (Artificial Intelligence) in Your Writing., My Thoughts By Connie Vines #Round Robin, #AI

This month's topic, AI (Artificial intelligence), has many aspects. 

(Thank you, Skye)

Do you add a warning that your work cannot be used for the training of AI along with copyright info? 

Do you use AI in your writing? Will it replace the "human" writer(s)?

I am selective in my use of AI. I routinely utilize several spell-check and grammar-check applications.

Why? 

Because, in my case, I'm constantly being interrupted. I also revise mid-sentence while I'm writing. This means when I sit back at the keyboard or pause for several minutes, I begin with either the word And or But.

And and But? How unarticulate of me 😳

I also utilized the photo "Change" application. 

The "revised me" is a tongue-in-cheek promo tool in which Connie travels back in time or becomes a cowgirl. The second photo is obviously AI-generated. Usually, the clue is a missing or misplaced limb. As you can see, the left hand blends into the skirt.

Please note the missing left hand (it blends into the dress skirt.) 

There is also a strange shape/ shadow on the dress's bodice.

Authors must now state that their work is their own creation, not AI-generated. 

Unfortunately, the author must also ensure that AI does not harvest creativity. AI mustn't be used to gather "our voice." Our creativity is the "human" aspect of our stories.

This requires an author to diligently ensure we find the boxes to check on social sites, websites, etc. (Perhaps this can be another blog topic.)

If we (as writers) allow AI to create our stories, we lose the connection to our readers. Our writing will be devoid of joy, humor, and quirky nuances.

And yes, my stories, as well as my life, are peppered with quirky nuances.

My posted photos would only be photos. Photos come alive when the author weaves a story about the photo shoot (a peek behind the camera, so to speak).

I write about my pets. My readers laugh at the photos and share tales about their pets.

This has been plucked from my Author, Connie Vines, FB page.

It's mani-pedi week. In case you can't tell, I'm in the top photo. Chanel has tiny paws, and Gavin has hard-running, manly paws.

Now, can AI create that story?

AI may be able to produce a photo of a rose. But not my rose. Nor can AI describe the particular nuance of notes and emotions the fragrance evokes.

AI can assist us, but we must be diligent. 

Skills can be lost. Skills that will be needed in the future. 

Cursive writing is an example. Cursive writing and playing a musical instrument activate a particular brain area. That area of the brain will never be developed or utilized otherwise.

Please visit the participants in this month's Round Robin participants about their take on the world of AI.

As readers, what are your thoughts an AI?

Happy Reading,

Connie
