Brainstorming with Bots: The Ethics of AI-Assisted Creativity


Listen Later

Can writers harness AI ethically without surrendering the soul of their craft? In our provocative new mini-series, we're not just theorizing about AI's role in creative writing—we're putting it to the test.

Picture this: You're staring at a blank page. Your protagonist is trapped, your love interests are stubbornly avoiding each other, or your climactic scene lacks the perfect setup. We've all been there. Could AI be the brainstorming partner that breaks through these creative walls?

To find out, we challenged Claude (our AI of choice) with a classic writing exercise from John Gardner's The Art of Fiction. The results? Let's just say they left us speechless—and not for the reasons you might expect.

Whether you're an AI skeptic, enthusiast, or simply curious about the future of storytelling, this episode is for you.

Tune in to discover if AI truly empowers the creative process—or if it's leading writers down a dangerous path.

Remember, we have a Writers Process meetup every Wednesday. Check us out.
