If you’re wondering about the collaborative dynamic in #Versipellis, here’s a brief explanation of the process: The first step is to think of a topic or an idea for a story. The second step is to sit down and brainstorm (this is the most important step). Third, based on these notes, the AI is programmed. It’s a simple process, although it takes time. Once we have a clear set of ideas, it’s just a matter of guiding the writing assistant, supervising the process, making suggestions, and making modifications as needed.
The goal is to develop a collaborative project with specialists from different areas, not just writers. I firmly believe that everyone has stories to tell. Those of us in the craft of writing have often heard some version of the phrase: “You’re a writer, you should write my story—it would make a great book.”
Additionally, the content will be developed in English for two reasons: to reach a different audience than I usually aim for (introducing our names to new potential bilingual readers) and to avoid ethical conflicts. While we speak the language, we’re not native speakers (except for a few specific collaborators), and thus English is not our language of choice when writing without the help of AI.
Once again, and now publicly, I extend my invitation to potential collaborators. I feel this tool will allow us to bring to fruition a project I’ve been unsuccessfully trying to shape for years. Everyone has obligations and ongoing projects, and it’s hard to find time for anything more than a phone call. Please consider this your invitation to participate. Sending you all a warm hug!
