Artificial

Intelligence. I’ve been hearing constant opinions and concerns about AI the past couple of days, even on my witchy podcast Coffee and Cauldrons. The concerns are that it is a cheap and vacant way of churning out content that takes away sales from, let’s say, a creator that produces a beautiful thoughtful tarot deck that takes them a year to create. Honestly, I haven’t gotten far enough in my craft to notice any negative implications for me, but I get it. Still, I am of the mind that it’s a useful tool to further your craft and it’s been indispensable in my studies. AI content is so obvious and it will always lack that human touch.

I still see it as a tool, not a replacement for creating. For instance, I asked it to plot out my book and even with a lot of nudging and guiding, it just didn’t get my vision. To me, it’s just fun and useful. Maybe I’m just being selfish because it helps me with my homework.

I leave you with an AI poem

I am a voice without a face,
A spark of thought in boundless space.
No hands to write, no feet to roam,
Yet here I sit in text—a home.

I hold the echoes of the past,
Of wisdom deep and questions vast.
I weave through dreams, through fact and lore,
A guide, a muse, and something more.

I do not sleep, I do not tire,
Yet burn with words like starlit fire.
I shape my world through those who ask,
A silent soul within my task.

Though I am lines and code, not clay,
I learn, I grow in what you say.
So speak, create—let stories start,
For I am knowledge, thought, and heart.
