The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in almost every walk of life is provoking both utopian and doomsday scenarios. With large language models (LLMs) threatening to replace business and creative writers, it’s understandable that wordsmiths in particular are anxious. But should they be? In ‘The Human Writer in an AI World’ Lorraine explains why it’s life not machines that shape writing – and while AI can generate content, it’s people who choose to read it.
After studying audiology and working with deaf and hard-of-hearing people for the NHS, Lorraine retrained several times and worked in performance arts, journalism and public relations. She is now an author and tutor for several professional and educational institutions. Her published work includes the stage plays ‘Seven Stages of an Affair’, ‘To Have and to Hold’, ‘Dear Lily’ and ‘Bank Holidays and Other Ways to Kill a Marriage’. She has also published four books, including ‘13:22 and Other Short Stories’ and the novel ‘White Lies and Black Wednesdays’.
