How To Write The Future

“All this to say, exercise your creativity. Find ways to put disparate things that don't normally go together, put them together and see what happens. Ask yourself: "What if...?" Such a powerful question. Every day find ways to learn something new, do something new, go someplace new.”


In “Your Creativity vs. ChatGPT” How To Write the Future podcast host Beth Barany shares how to invite AI tools into our creativity and how they are not to replace us but instead here to help us. Beth also shares how being creative is essential for being a resilient human being.

“So I lived in France. After the meal, we would have cheese for dessert. That was a common dessert. And when I was in the country, outside of Paris in the Dijon area, dessert was pears and cheese. That was like, oh, the best dessert to be paired with the venison that we had. So of course the French are very keen on pairing their desserts and their wine with their meal. And it's all like this beautiful dance. And that's part of the culture and having a two hour lunch during the workday, as part of the culture that I experienced there, which is quite lovely. “
