Publisher's Synopsis
AI's mind and analysis and writing effort creativity replace human author's creativityAI-augmented creativity will develop and more people will want to be writers. It was beautiful and far more engaging than listening to his voice alone. He talked about augmented relationships, where AI will take our creativity into new realms of possibility. Hopefully, we will embrace the new possibilities of AI-assisted creation in the same way as the Go industry has done. There will always be purists, those who insist on human only creation, but I can bet you those people are still happy to use the internet when it suits them. Tools are tools, whichever way you look at them. I hope we will embrace creative commons and remixing as mash-ups between human and AI become more accepted and celebrated for a new form of creativity.I'm excited about the possibilities, for example, instead of writing stories for the 'book' container, what about writing your ideas for an interactive voice assistant or writing an audiobook or audio drama first, or writing for an immersive augmented reality experience. The possibilities of transmedia become even more exciting with AI assistance, especially as an independent creator.Looking at the broader impact of AI, many talk of the loss of jobs, the need for retraining, universal income of some kind so that people can afford to live, and so many basic tasks being done by AI that people will have more time to do the things they want to do - like write. The human drive to create is innate within us all, and some of us want to express ourselves in writing. People will have more time, so people will consume more, but they will also create more.Teaching writing has always been a part of the author business model [Alliance of Independent Authors] - so this will only become more applicable in a future with more creators. Expect to see a boom in books on writing, creative courses and particularly, in-person, human-led experiences like retreats, live events, and conferences.
