Book Blast! Robotics For Writers
Artificial intelligence and science fiction have been entwined since the former existed, so is it any surprise that the first book I wanted to write when I got my hands on tools like ChatGPT and Bing Chat was about how to supercharge your speculative fiction writing process with AI?
Robotics for Writers is a cautious, practical book written from my perspective as a ten-year tech industry designer of conversational interfaces and as a nearly thirty-year veteran of the written word. Turning a ruthless eye on what large language models are, what they cost, and how to both use and avoid them, I lay out 34 ways that you can tap into the power of these tools… but only when you need to.
If you’re a fiction writer looking to gain a quick and applicable understanding of large language models like ChatGPT, and how they can apply (and how they don’t!) to your craft and process, Robotics for Writers will bring you up to speed and help you make the decision about whether or not to incorporate these tools.
