IWSG

Posted on August 7, 2024 by kimlajevardi

Welcome back to another monthly post for The Insecure Writer’s Support Group (IWSG). The first Wednesday of every month writers from around the world gather around their keyboards and send words into the void–or the internet. :)The co-hosts for today are Feather Stone, me, Diedre Knight, C. Lee McKenzie, and Sarah – The Faux Fountain Pen!

You should visit all of us.

The optional question this month is: Do you use AI in your writing and if so how? Do you use it for your posts? Incorporate it into your stories? Use it for research? Audio?

My answer is a simple no. I don’t believe I need artificial intelligence to create. I need it to take care of the mundanities of life, not the beating heart of what it means to be human. But since I don’t want to leave you without beauty to wash away the horrid thought of AI taking over human expression, a song. Enjoy!

    I’m definitely with you on wanting AI to take care of the mundane instead of trying to steal creativity. (Shannon at thewarriormuse dot com).

    I’d love to see AI harnessed to address the mundanities of life so we all have more time to create, rest, and spend time with those we love. Innovation should work for people, not attempt to replace people.

    Hi,

    I like the phrase “the beating heart of being human:” That’s my point to. I don’t need AI to be what I truly want to be –– a down to earth writer who writes her own stories.

    Thank you for co-hosting.

    I am also a no. When it can clean my house and cook my food then maybe I’ll sign up.

    Thanks for hosting today. I’m also AI-adverse, though I’m sure there are some ways it can be helpful. I just don’t have the patience or interest to dig them out. @samanthabwriter from <a href=”http://samanthabryant.com“>Balancing Act</a>

    Hi Kim,
    Music enriches so many aspects of our lives. Here’s an example in our lives. For over a week, my husband’s fingers were aching and screaming with pain.

    We started playing concerts orchestrated by André Rieu, an internationally famous conductor. (hint: The ladies in the orchestra wear fancy ball gowns and Andre interacts with the musicians and audience).

    By the end of the 1.5 hour concert, the pain was gone from Rick’s fingers. We assume the music relaxed his body and the pain went away.

    Here’s a favorite:
    André Rieu live at Schönbrunn Palace, Vienna (Full Concert – Remastered)

    Thanks for co-hosting!
