Book description
Beat the Bots offers science-based creativity techniques that guide you through the writing process to unlock your imagination and create compelling stories that resonate with emotional truth in ways AI can't match.Even though artificial intelligence is based on a technology called "machine learning," computers can't learn to be creative-but you can. This book will show you the way. AI is, by definition, derivative, not creative. It can't bring rational judgment to determine the quality or value of its work. When you bring those capabilities to your writing, your stories will touch readers' hearts and minds. Just as real food is better for us than processed food, and actual social interactions are more meaningful than social media, when it comes to writing your story, artificial intelligence can't replicate your individual human intelligence, imagination, and sensibility. Technical wizardry can't tell your story. Only you can do that. Your uniqueness is what separates you from a chatbot, and explains why you can't be replaced by an algorithm. You'll succeed because you're human, not in spite of it. Through engaging FAQs, invaluable "Pro Tips," and "AI Weighs In" revelations, you'll be able to apply the writing lessons and creativity tactics to all aspects of storytelling, bringing your distinctive vision and voice to your projects in ways AI simply can't. Thought-provoking, science-based guided exercises challenge you to apply each chapter's lessons to your own writing. Whether you're writing a novel, literary nonfiction, or a memoir, you'll be able to write stories that are fresh and compelling-your stories-and those are the books that publishers want and readers crave. That's how you'll beat the bots.
