This chapter is an excerpt from our longer conversation with Robin Sloan. Robin is a scifi writer, social observer and dedicated AI enthusiast. Robin has been bootstrapping his way into some fascinating co-writing experiments with the machine. We find inspiration in the daring he brings to his writing and the collaborative process. Lately, Robin has been talking about how, with his machine learning co-writing experiments, “the goal is not to make writing easier, but to make it harder.” Robin is funny, welcoming and he challenged us to think about new ways to look at what’s possible with human-machine interactions, which will have huge implications for creative people, the talking internet and brands.
