    (#22) People have a lot of thoughts about AI and writing (they're bad)

    When it comes to using generative AI to help you write, or even write completely for you, people on the internet have A LOT of thoughts. Unfortunately, many of those thoughts are based on misunderstanding how both artificial intelligence and writing novels actually work. Yikes. I don't actually care what you do with your life, but I do care about you, and I think you should care more about your own writing and your skill development, and we should ALL care about how young people are being turned towards even more screens rather than towards each other. This episode is all about how much more you matter than AI ever could and about how writing already is extremely accessible. Resources mentioned in the episode: - Can you use ChatGPT to write a novel?: https://katrisoikkeli.com/can-you-write-a-novel-with-chatgpt/  - The Genius Plotting System: https://courses.protagonistcrafts.com/genius-plotting-system/  - Writing 101: https://katrisoikkeli.com/writing-a-book-101/  - Start Your Novel 5-day course (it's free!): https://katrisoikkeli.com/write-a-book-free-course/
