Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG.

The awesome co-hosts for the March 6 posting of the IWSG are Kristina KellyMiffie 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!

March Question:

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? 

The quick answer to this one is, no. But I entered the synopsis I’d written for my next book and ChatGPT kicked out a great analysis for each character. I think this will be useful when I do some posts about these characters. I wish I’d done it earlier so I could have referred to it while I was writing the book.

I haven’t played with it more than that. It bothers me that it’s so fast and without error. I’m not happy about being upstaged by something without a heart.

Stop in at my new digs on Substack

That's great that ChapGpt helped you with your characters' characteristics. I use it as a tool at my job.

I loved how you stated it, Lee: I’m not happy about being upstaged by something without a heart. That says it all!

Hi Lee - I guess if one uses AI and its associates in the office - then that's the easier way in to learn - as Natalie mentions. And then Fundy Blue's comment about you not wishing to be upstaged by something without a heart ... I so agree! Cheers Hilary

Happy IWSG Day!

So you are using just for yourself, and not in something you are actually publishing? Interesting, I'll have to think about that one.

@Natalie Aquirre I was surprised at what it gave me. I thought it would rewrite my synopsis.

@Fundy Blue @Hilary Melton-Butcher Glad you liked that phrase. It's how I think of AI

@Elizabeth Seckman Same to you!

@TWW I used it for a book I'd written, thinking it might improve on my synopsis.
