AI has been a constant whining point of late and I’ve spoken about it at some length, not that people like it very much. Guess what? AI isn’t going to go away. Learn to deal. Of course, lots of people hate that fact, but you can’t put the genie back in the bottle.
Last night, I caught a new video by Red Letter Media on it, I’ll link it below if you want to take a look, but I was thinking about it afterwards and I think that the time is coming rapidly where everything that people fear most is going to come to pass.
So let’s talk about it.
I had an interesting challenge posed to me recently, and by recently, I mean near the beginning of the year. An author friend challenged me to write a horror book, or, if not pure horror, a book with horror elements in my standard genre. In exchange, he was going to add sci-fi elements to one of his books, just to see how it went.
The original version of Phantoms was written in 1983. I’ve read plenty of Koontz’ books, but the real fan when I was growing up was my sister, who read a ton of them. I’ve been challenged to write horror elements into a book and I’ve been doing research, including reading horror-esque books, in preparation.
