TELL THE DAMN STORY, ep 362: Writers Using AI, Creative Collaboration or Digital Devil?
Is AI A Writing Digital Revolution or Deal With The Devil?
In this podcast, hosts Alex Simmons and Chris Ryan dig into the hotly debated role of AI in the creative process.
From using tools like ChatGPT and Descript for research and editing, to the ethical gray areas of letting AI generate content, the conversation gets candid—and sometimes contentious—about where writers should draw the line.
Alex shares his hands-on experiments using AI to streamline podcast production and spark social media posts, while Chris raises critical questions about authenticity and artistic integrity.
Together, they weigh the practical benefits of AI—think saving time on editing and organizing content—against deeper concerns of originality, creative voice, and fairness.
Whether you’re an AI disciple, skeptic, or curious about digital tools, this episode offers thoughtful insights and real-world examples to help you decide how (or if) AI fits into your writing practice.
Seeking answers to these questions is so crucial that Alex and Chris invite you, the listener, to weigh in on your position in this rapidly evolving conversation.
