WEBINAR | Artful Intelligence: What the Rise of AI Can Teach Us about Great Writing
June 17 @ 3:00 pm – 4:00 pm EDT
In all the hype and paranoia around AI, it’s still our flawed, funny, and felt humanity that brings art into the world.
For Creative Nonfiction, Nonfiction, and Poetry
Artificial Intelligence can’t do what you can do because it doesn’t feel what you feel. Learn to harness those feelings to make original and unforgettable human art.
We’ll explore AI via literature and writing, with an overview of how chatbots produce “original” works, trends in publishing and marketing related to the rise of AI, and what artificial writing can teach us about our own, human craft.
As part of our investigation, we’ll study technical aspects of AI to learn how it works and how to detect its usage. And we’ll examine how our own response to the emergence of AI can help us contend with the social, moral, and aesthetic challenges posed by advancements in technology.
This webinar will allay your fears over AI taking over the world—or at least taking over the writing world—and putting all of us creative writers out of business. No prior technical knowledge is required—only a passion for reading, exploring how technology shapes storytelling, and uncovering how human stories shape technology.
In this webinar, you will:
- UNDERSTAND how so-called Artificial Intelligence actually writes
- EXPLORE what AI reveals about writing formulas and clichés to avoid in our own work
- LEARN how to write, publish, and stand out in a world beset by emerging technologies
This webinar is for beginning and intermediate writers who …
- worry about AI and its impacts on their own writing and prospects for publication
- seek to make their own work more original and attention-grabbing
- want to recognize AI “in the wild” and understand its use as a tool
