AI is a tool, like everything else. How you use it is what matters. I’m using it and having a blast! I can do so many things now that I couldn’t before, and it’s so exciting to have this 360-degree approach to my writing, from ideas to polishing the text to audio voiceover and images.

Do not underestimate what your reblogs and words mean, just because you’re not ‘big’ or whatever. Reblogs are the key to creating and maintaining a community of like-minded people, supporters and supportive folks who share interests, encourage each other’s creativity, and engender a feeling of community and togetherness. Reblogs matter.
