IWSG Blog Post - Using AI

The awesome co-hosts for the March 6 posting of the IWSG are Kristina Kelly, Miffie Seideman,Jean Davis, and Liza @ Middle Passages!

Have you "played" with AI to write those nasty synopses, or do you refuse to go that route? How do you feel about AI's impact on creative writing?

I wouldn’t use AI for synopses. The only thing I’ve asked AI to do is generate lists of words. I need lots of superhero and villain names for my characters, and it seems every name under the sun has already been taken by the Marvel and DC universes. I used to get a great idea, search it, see that it’s already taken, get another idea, search it, see that it’s already taken… Frustrating!

Now, I ask AI for a list of name leads that have not been claimed. Sometimes when I search the names, one or two is already in use, but most are free. It saves me a ton of time and headaches!
