 Remember when I said my mind felt like a chaotic storm filled with worry and sadness? Well, it still is! But rather than stay stuck in this creative slump, I decided to dive into updating my Erandelle Guidebook. Just a casual 40 new pages, no big deal. On top of that, I created a guide for the Esir’s constructed language and its dialects for the Kril and Selies. Easy, right? If you’re not up to speed, Erandelle is my fictional world that I’ve been shaping for a quite a while, and is connected to a novel that’s still giving me the runaround. I promise I’ll finish it eventually; I have until I’m 132! If you’re curious, my first post on Medium shares the details of the early draft . But back to the guide. I desperately needed something to keep my creativity flowing, so I made a basic outline of the cultures and customs of my fictional characters. Feeling as creatively stuck as I was, I thought tackling something simpler might help. To my surprise, this mechanical approach didn’t just...

  Today, I want to share some thoughts on AI and the use of Large Language Models (LLMs). Back in April, I presented my perspective on AI in an article titled “ The AI Factor .” In this piece, I’m diving deeper into the subject, this time based on a specific experience I had recently. Before I get into the details, let me share a bit about myself. I’m not one to follow trends blindly.

This means that just because many people hold strong opinions on a topic, it doesn’t necessarily mean I agree with them. I respect their right to their opinions, regardless of how they’ve formed them. Now that you have this background, let’s dive into the matter at hand. Last Friday, I received an email from my self-publishing platform inviting me to take a survey about LLMs and the creation of original content by writers. They were exploring new revenu...

  As anticipated in numerous works of science fiction, video games, and movies, the era of Artificial Intelligence has arrived, bringing controversy in its wake. Also as expected, society typically avoids debating these advancements proactively; instead, discussions arise only when the technology is on our doorstep, enforcing a sudden adjustment to a new reality rather than promoting a smooth transition. Consequently, due to common human behavior, individuals are launching passionate crusades against the implementation of AI, though in certain domains more than in others. The controversy surrounding AI arises from several factors, such as: Ethical Considerations: The increasing sophistication and autonomy of AI systems raise ethical concerns regarding AI bias, privacy violations, and the possibilities of misuse for surveillance or manipulation. Job Displacement: A major concern regarding AI is its ability to automate tasks that have historically been done by humans. This can resu...
