- Comment on According to an MIT study, relying on ChatGPT for stuff like essays and creativity leads to cognitive atrophy and such. What should I do when writing stories without ChatGPT and other AI chatbots? 1 day ago:
Octavia Butler has an essay that makes the same key point as Stephen King: read and write. It’s the same as any other skill. If you’re a musician, you listen to music and play your instrument. If you want to draw, you watch people draw, observe their process, and you draw. If you’re a welder, you watch people weld, study the process, and you weld.
Storytelling, however, is very broad. You see it on tv, in movies, in books, and you practice in daily conversation. There are loads of books and videos discussing different aspects of storytelling structure, form, and best practices. The Great Courses even has a lecture series on storytelling. But the best thing you can do is read and write. And ask for feedback.

Guess i should finally watch that. I’ve been putting it off but it’s been referenced a lot recently and seems like it might be relevant

It’s kind of a disingenuous comparison in the video, but I understand why he did it. The one that settles slowly has no dampening, either fluid or an inductive plate, because he set its initial position by hand. Can’t really do that if it’s in a fluid, although he could have compared in other ways, like setting the initial position with another magnet or comparing to another induction dampened compass and emphasizing that you can see through his.
