Janelle Shane has, and she&#8217;s the perfect tour guide to explain what machine learning can and can&#8217;t do&#8211;and why it&#8217;s already affecting your life.\u00a0I can&#8217;t think of a better way to learn about artificial intelligence, and I&#8217;ve never had so much fun along the way.&#8221;\u00a0<\/em>\u2015 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/adam-grant-interview\/\">Adam Grant<\/a>,\u00a0<em>New York Times<\/em>\u00a0bestselling author of\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/geni.us\/bEO444f\"><em>Originals<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/20-famous-writers-on-when-they-do-their-best-work\/\">When<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-workplaces\/\">where<\/a>\u00a0do you like to write? Are you the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/prolific-writers-routine\/\">same-thing-every-day kind of writer<\/a>\u00a0or can you write anytime, anywhere?<\/h3>\n<p>I write in whatever moments I can find \u2013 and the tinier the moment, often the more productive it is. A few moments in a waiting room, or the last minutes before the plane starts boarding, or a bit of lunch break \u2013 something about knowing the time is limited sharpens my focus. On weekends I\u2019ll often find a coffee shop where I can get breakfast or lunch too, and write until the music gets too intrusive, or until I\u2019ve absorbed more lattes than I should. Every once in a while (usually under deadline pressure) I can manage a few hours in a row of determined focus.<\/p>\n<h3>Do you have any\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/pre-writing-rituals\/\">pre-writing rituals<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/strange-writing-habits\/\">habits<\/a>\u00a0before you sit down to write?<\/h3>\n<p>I open the laptop and get going. If I\u2019m at home, I negotiate with my cat over where she will sit while I write (she prefers to curl up across my forearms, but then my keyboard slowly fills with cat hair while my wrists begin to cramp).<\/p>\n<h3>What do you do when the writing isn\u2019t coming easy? Do you struggle at all with that dreaded enemy of writing: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/overcome-writers-block\/\">writer\u2019s block<\/a>?<\/h3>\n<p>I usually have so many things going at once that I can find something that matches my level of focus and motivation. If nothing else, I can sort through lists of neural net-generated stuff.<\/p>\n<h3>How did you develop your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/subscribe\/\">writing habits<\/a>? Was there a specific job in your career where you honed in the routine that works best for you?<\/h3>\n<p>Writing my PhD thesis was a lesson in curating my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/writers-workplaces\/\">writing environment<\/a> \u2013 mostly managing the ideal level of distraction. Alas, I found I was most productive when sitting on a hidden balcony of a university building, which happened to be right at the top of a cliff with a panoramic view of the pacific ocean. It was loud and distracting, but it was exactly the right sort of distraction. I haven\u2019t managed to replicate that. But I have gotten better at identifying what in my writing environment isn\u2019t working, and more creative about making adjustments.<\/p>\n<h3>Writers have to be master prioritizers \u2014 juggling all sorts of projects and deadlines at the same time. That\u2019s certainly the case for you. Do you have any methods for managing tasks and time to stay productive and not let overwhelm sneak in?<\/h3>\n<p>Outlining really helps me prevent huge writing tasks from looking overwhelming. That\u2019s probably my number one productivity trick.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/t2NEA\"><em>You Look Like a Thing and I Love You <\/em><\/a>is your first book. Did you find your process differ at all versus how you approach shorter-form writing? What were some of the key lessons you learned that you might apply to the next book project?<\/h3>\n<p>I learned a lot about how to keep from being bogged down in details, especially when entire chapters may still be cut. I also learned how very important it is to keep notes and references in a searchable format \u2013 still looking for the ideal system on that.<\/p>\n<h3>Given your extensive <a href=\"https:\/\/aiweirdness.com\/\">writing and researching on Artificial Intelligence<\/a>, what should writers be aware of in the way of how AI could potentially disrupt writers and the publishing industry? How can writers harness the power of AI?<\/h3>\n<p>Right now AI can craft a sentence, but can\u2019t craft a paragraph, let alone a story. It never gets to the point, or loses the plot. Even when it gets better, it will tend to be pretty cautious, producing writing that you vaguely feel like you\u2019ve read a thousand times. We\u2019re already seeing AI tools that are really helpful in writing certain kinds of hyper-local news articles \u2013 like reporting on local sports results or housing prices. We\u2019ll see more AI tools designed for gathering information and making first drafts for other kinds of formulaic articles. But there\u2019s no substitute for human-level writing and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/tips-for-editing\/\">editing skills<\/a>. Writers like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.robinsloan.com\/\">Robin Sloan<\/a> are using AI tools creatively, aiming for glitchy unpredictability, kind of like an improv partner who injects surreal chaos \u2013 there\u2019s a lot of possibility here.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"s1\">What\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/seven-books-every-aspiring-writer-must-read\/\">books<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.writingroutines.com\/routines\/\">writers<\/a>\u00a0have most influenced the way you think and the way you write?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/t2NEA\"><em>You Look Like a Thing and I Love<\/em>\u00a0<em>You<\/em><\/a> was directly inspired in style by Randall Munroe\u2019s book <a href=\"https:\/\/geni.us\/C9xJS\"><em>What If?<\/em><\/a> \u2013 I was really impressed by how well it worked for people of hugely varying technical backgrounds, and how it managed to be both hilarious and informative.<\/p>\n<p>I also read a lot of science fiction these days.
