What do you think we can do to help foster the next generation of writers with the rapid rise of AI? This is a question that has been weighing heavily on me as of late.
Rick Riordan
I don't think anyone has an answer for this, including me. From what I've seen of AI so far, I don't think creators of fiction prose are in any danger of being replaced anytime soon. AI can be a help as well as a hindrance, so I have to hope for the best!

i'm not sure how well i'll be able to word this, but i have always been curious about what your process is when it comes to handling background characters. when you create them, do you give them backstories, last names, etc. or do you roll with a basic concept of them and add on trivia later if the thought arises? for example: clovis/pollux vs. lou ellen blackstone/butch walker (and one might even argue will solace)
