The gifts and folly in employing AI for your writings. A conversation with Mark DeSantis

The Sage Sayers

Experts tell us AI writing adoption's now mainstream with 82% of businesses using AI tools for creating content. Good news for the AI market, now projected to reach a $1.8 trillion global AI market by 2030.

And yet we know AI's not perfect at writing. In fact, partners I team with, like Maven, a popular platform for cohort-based learning where I'm building several communications workshops, discourages course creators to use AI for writing a course design. It reminds us to use AI to brainstorm content ideas, not to write them.

I fully agree, and so does entrepreneur and Carnegie Mellon University professor of entrepreneurship Mark DeSantis. In this week's episode, one of my favorite entrepreneur buddy's back, discussing with me how we use and don't use AI for our writing.

You'll learn some new ways to use AI to help kickstart your writing. And you'll hear some cautionary tales on how the world's most talked-about technology can actually muddy and cloud our written word in ways that don't serve us (nor our readers) well at all.
