I write novels, short stories, poetry and screenplays to both entertain audiences and explore who we are as human beings. I’m also an actor, director and film maker. My home is in a rural town in Nova Scotia, Canada near the sea.

You can write better than artificial intelligence, because you bring something no machine is capable of, your humanity, the essence of who you are and can participate in a cornerstone of civilization, an expression of art. Read the rest of the article at tinyurl.com/noaiwriting.

#AI gap part 2 of 2 - This is what holds people together and when these qualities diminish, a society #denigrates into #chaos and falls apart. It's happened to #empire after empire for millennia and each #generation is convinced it can't happen to them, and discover t it can and does.

#AI gap part 1 of 2 - People who extort or decry artificial intelligence paint rosy or doomsday scenarios but don't take into account the most powerfully driver of change, human nature. They see things through a transactional filter and forget what makes us human, #compassion, #community and #unity.

Luci told me she's not moving from the kick plate heater vent in the kitchen until the spring thaw.

A gray squirrel, a black squirrel and two doves eat together in peace, each accepting the others rights. How is it so many humans can't to the same?

Art not only reflects society, it builds and reinforces it. Positive messaging may not directly stop the horrors of war, poverty, crime, misogyny, oppression and abuse. It plants seeds to open our minds in search of solutions.

It is in the act or written where we form our ideas and create new concepts and solutions. If you use AI to write any document, you are not participating in the process of realization. When it comes time to actuality carry through, you will be lost because they didn’t built the know how.

Science is not just being denied, it is under attack. Some conservative politicians and media constantly deny reality to promote their ideologies of control and mass profits for themselves. An uninformed public is easy to manipulate with fear, attacks on those who are different and other lies.
