I use AI. Then there’s GenAI Derangement Syndrome. They don’t like it and instantly cancel me, even when I do the writing. Like my first-grade teacher labeling my silence as low intelligence.
I'm a published novelist, very interested in understanding, experimenting with, and using AI for a wide variety of research and writing tasks. I don't make any secrets about the ways I use it for my posts, but I don't write about my experiments with various models across a couple of platforms because of the strong anti-AI sentiment in the writing community, fueled both by the real (and sad) misuse of these tools and the uninformed fear that's widespread out there. I appreciate and applaud what you're doing here. Thank you.
Sincere thanks, and sure there's many of us like this. So many different fits for different styles. As an editor, Claude is clear and knows I know, that what comes out is my own mirror I'm looking into, not some sacred intelligence....though yeah, cracks are where the light seeps through, in one creative point of view.
I've thought of creating some mini community, on Substack or elsewhere, outside of that harsh judgement of social. To learn and discuss openly and supportively, because I learn about so many cool things, as we all do.
Or go all old school with Mabel Dodge’s Wednesday Night Salon, the original Emma Goldman, Marcel Duchamp, John Reed, and Isadora Duncan gatherings (learned from the movie Reds).
If you do (mini community), don't do it on Reddit. Do it where there are no trolls and where there's room to share docs. I'm using Claude for astrological transit work (quite amazing). My son is using Copilot to transcribe nearly illegible handwritten letters from the early 19th century, as well as organize, index, and analyze. That's just the work side of it. There's also the colleagueship and partnership as Significant Other.
Yes, I have a community running for 30 years. Got shut down years ago by Denial of Service (DOS) attacks, I had no idea. Learned that where a community is located is tricky, and trolls tend to be smart. Small steps for sure.
I'm doing similar astrological work, helps me understand so much more.
