Welcome to 500 Words. Listen to this newsletter.
A moment for station identification for new readers and listeners: 500 Words is a weekly-ish newsletter with two regular columns: INTERROGATING AI, which examines our use of artificial intelligence, and BLURBOMATIC, a monthly curated list of book reviews. I'll also keep you updated about books I'm publishing, productions in progress, new courses and trainings, and podcasts I'm launching or publicizing.
INTERROGATING AI
I have made a point of writing about productive uses for AI, like using a chatbot as a writing coach to help you come up with ideas. Adobe has added a feature to their editing app, Premiere Pro, that will generate a few missing frames of video if yours ends too early to make the edit. AI has the capability of making us fitter, happier, more productive (Yep, that's a Radiohead lyric.)
