very helpful with notes and troubleshooting IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU WANT AND BASICALLY WHAT'S WRONG AND NEED SPECIFIC IDEAS TO DEAL WITH THAT. #writing #writingsky #scriptsky #aiwriting #amwriting #indieauthors #claude
it can't do creative writiing. It's bloated, doesn't know when to stop and kills nuance and subtext when it tries. And forget screenwriting ... totally misses that boat. BUT... #writing #writingsky #scriptsky #aiwriting #amwriting #indieauthors #claude
You have to control the conversation and direct it all the time b/c it goes off on stupid tangents and hallucinates AND forgets where it's at and the context it's in. This happens ALOT. Bottom line... #writing #writingsky #scriptsky #aiwriting #amwriting #indieauthors #claude
But... it sucks at script notes b/c it doesn't really grok screenwriting or how scripts really work. That said, it's dev notes are hugely insightful... BUT you must stay in the drivers seat. #writing #writingsky #scriptsky #aiwriting #amwriting #indieauthors #claude
AI STUFF: I've been deep in the rabbit hole with Claude and creative writing b/c Claude is supposed to be the best at writing stuff. NOT. But ... scary good at notes. It had impressed me with development notes. #writing #writingsky #scriptsky #aiwriting #amwriting #indieauthors #claude
AI WRITING STUFF: We're going to see more and more of this kind of stuff —genre-specific AI agents that write very niche books in a flash. This one is for cozy mysteries —a very niche genre/audience. WDYT??? bit.ly/41rfdPX #writingsky #writing #cozymystery #amwriting #novels #aifiction
Like the tail isn't enough???? :)
I hate it when they do that.
Jumping down the AI agentic rabbit hole ... OMG I'm such a dinosaur! How did that happen?
They should be forced to walk on them barefoot!

Sitzfleisch — my new favorite German/Yiddish word... "butt flesh" or the ability to sit one's butt in a chair and get something done.
