EXCERPT | Arthur Goldstuck: How generative AI can help creative writers – if used properly

Arthur Goldstuck has written more than 20 books (some on urban legends) and has been at the forefront of understanding technological developments and passing on his knowledge for decades. Text and images generated by artificial intelligence (AI) such as ChatGPT appeared recently to be met with euphoria by some and fear, anger and bewilderment by others. In The Hitchhiker’s Guide to AI: A Handbook for All (Macmillan), Goldstuck offers just that – an accessible guide to what AI does and how it could help us all if we know how to use it properly. In this edited excerpt, he explains the pros and cons for creative writers using AI.
