3 周Love your POV. The capabilities that AI will put in the hands of creators is truly profound. As a writer, I am all for anything that let's me focus on being creative instead of fighting with complicated workflows or having to worry about other administrative nonsense. The future looks bright for creators. Exciting times ahead.
