My 'humble opinion' (see Terry Pratchett) is that AI is rather like the monkey of 60 years ago. Eventually it might be able to produce a work of Shakespeare! Meanwhile, thank goodness we have you, Jodi, and other real people to keep us laughing, entertained and informed. I think you have taught me more history than I learned in school. Also glad that the movie didn't keep you away from your writing for too long.
OMG! So after years of working on my self-esteem, I Won't Go To the Gory details suffice it to say it's a hard habit to break, I have learned two things: I will never reach the cupboard over the refrigerator. Why is that important because it's just because I'm small there's nothing wrong with that I'm not a bad person I'm totally okay I'm just small so I'm always going to need help or stool. That means if I can lump everything else that I've always criticized myself over into that box I'm okay! Why am I telling you this because I've released a lot of negative self-talk. The one thing I couldn't find new verbiage 4 was when something went tits up. And I've been using well that could have gone better.
I'm just re-reading St Mary's 14, A Catalogue of Catastrophe, for about the tenth time (I enjoy them all just as much every time!) and can barely contain my impatience to read Book 15! No pressure, Jodi - but I'm desperate!
Sorry to hear about the death on your windowsill. I suppose sending flowers would be inappropriate in this instance?
As regards the Human Authored scheme, are we, for these purposes, counting politicians' "campaign books" as human authored? How about the memoirs of senior military personnel? As for the creativity being "all human" this concerns me less than that there actually be some creativity included. Does no one else remember the late Appin Dungannon who "had written 22 Tatryn Runewind novels--or possibly one Tatryn Runewind novel 22 times." (Sharyn McCrumb, "Bimbos of the Death Sun" highly recommended.)
As a reader, I try to support my fellow humans--but as authors, they have not always supported me.
