What You’ll Learn:

 

• AI isn't coming for your job... at least not all of it. 

• What are AI, LLMs and transformers (no, not that kind)

• What really happens behind the scenes when you type a prompt

• The hidden instructions that shape AI responses (and how to bend them to your will) 

• Why LLMs hallucinate and how to avoid garbage output

• How to prompt for creative work: story, dialogue, structure, tone, and more

• How to think about AI as a tool not a threat and use it without watering down your voice

• Workflow tips: how to use AI to help manage your writing life, from outlining to scheduling

• Understand how to use AI before *They* are going to use it on you.  

​

Why This Isn’t Just Another Tech Talk

 

You don’t need one.

 

You need clarity, strategy, and a few unsettling truths.

 

That’s what you’ll get. 

 

Plus some hope.

​

Who am I?

One of you. Writer. Filmmaker. Producer. Concerned. Also someone who loves technology, transformation and teaching people how to understand the former in order to achieve the latter.  

 

Spots are limited. RSVP required. Drinks and snacks included. Existential dread optional (but welcomed).
