172. In the Age of AI, Think Critically, Write Creatively, Act Compassionately

How To Write The Future

Have you stopped to ask yourself: what is it that you want? And dared to listen to the answer.” - Beth Barany

In the latest How To Write the Future podcast episode, “In the Age of AI, Think Critically, Write Creatively, Act Compassionately,” host Beth Barany encourages listeners to critically think about the tools they are using and to create a compassionate place to be curious about the systems they live within. She encourages listeners to learn from their mistakes: “feedback, not failure,” and asks, “Would you dare listen to the answer if you stopped to ask yourself what it is you wanted?”
