Love your thoughts on AI and how you differentiate the value of the creative process from the outcome of having a written book. If you love the process, then AI won't ever replace that. And to your other point about being a time saver-- allowing you to focus more on creative work- yes! I recently plugged in a conference session description I wrote and let it write a draft of learning objectives and it was a HUGE time saver.

Also- on the romance front, I think you'd like anything by Kate Clayborn. I haven't read her latest (Georgie, All Along) but Love Lettering and Love at First (as well as the Luck of the Draw series) are all awesome!

Thanks for this great comment! Yes, totally agree re: using AI at work. We've been looking at some tools to help with content development and I'm SO EXCITED. At work, I care less about process and more about output, so it's a great fit!

And thanks for the book recommendation! I will definitely add Kate Clayborn to my TBR. I feel like a whole new world has opened up, reading-wise!

Agreed. “Content” hasn’t felt a human space anyway, and there’s plenty of it. Maybe tasking it to the robots will actually help us unplug a little. And Mary’s point for people who don’t love process, this will help.

I am more than happy to let the robots do the boring stuff, especially at work. One thing I left out of this little essay is that I actually HAVE been using ChatGPT a little in my writing, but as a research tool rather than a writing tool. It's fun to ask it things like, "How does a real estate investment scam work?" and see what it says.
