Controversy at Noon: Separating the Writer from the Work
Просмотров 824 месяца назад
We live in an age of enlightenment, with more access to knowledge than we know what to do with; however, the abundance of information available on anyone and anything, past and present, brings with it a new set of problems. One of the most pertinent literary matters we face today is the issue of separating the writer from the work they create. Can we? Should we? Many books have been - and will ...

Folks in the writing world continue to talk about AI and how they are using - or not using - it as a tool, a test, or even a novelty party trick. The writing seems to be on the wall when it comes to the inevitability of AI and its use in everyday life, but have writers and readers had their say about how AI creates new works of art? Some groups of writers are speaking out against the use of the...

    I think this is good advice in a general sense. But people also pick up fiction books because they want to be entertained. They are not going to judge your book mainly by its brevity. They want to have scenes painted in their mind, they want to know all the details of the characters, their emotions, the world they inhabit. Shying away from adjectives just to be more succinct isn’t always best. Nor is using superfluous adjectives always wrong. Lots of people enjoy heavily poetic prose filled with descriptive imagery. Plenty of ‘legendary’ writers of classic literature are extremely overly verbose by today’s standards. Good video nonetheless.

    Nisha is a vile person whose woke ideologies are a cancer to society. She calls anyone who disagrees with her a racist and constantly resorts to ad hominem attacks to make her (uneducated and bias) point. Truly a deplorable human being
