Terrific and it is so good at helping with clunky bits in our writing. I’ve asked it to give me feedback on previous writing and it helps so much.

Yes, I was thinking about where does historical fiction sit on the continuum, making it broader than just an AI continuum. Thanks for your thoughts.

Wonderful news & I do remember. I’m always amazed at how one small record leads to extensive research. Good luck with the presentation.

I think this is an issue as people look to AI to be the “magic bullet” that solves every problem. eg How can you know if a transcription & translation from one language to another is correct if you don’t know the language(s).

I agree @emollick.bsky.social and think we can achieve much more if we acknowledge what humans are good at and what AI is good at. Together is better!
