I tend to not write on Saturdays (unless I have something due or there's something urgent that needs my attention) — it's my day to go out and be inspired by the things and people around me. I deal with admin stuff everyday though.

I honestly have a positive outlook on it. I've done experiments with AI (Copilot) by prompting it to write the most whacky and unhinged stories, just for the heck of it (not for publishing, of course). You wouldn't believe how funny it actually was at first. Then it became a nightmare. The AI couldn't tell characters apart. It messed up tenses. It forgot what was going on in the plot. The nature of LLMs is that they learn and evolve. Right now, it looks like they're only good for academic writing (and even in that they make a lot of mistakes). As it stands, an AI is like a ship that needs a good captain to steer it. When it comes to creative writing, I'm not sure if that's the ship I'd even want to board though. There's far too much that AI hasn't learned to grasp yet when it comes to human expression. It's like the main purpose of AI is to be an administrative assistant of sorts. And we're all stuck as the line managers.
