I’ve been a rabid fan of AI and ChatGPT since it hit the masses. As someone who’s also crafted award-winning humor for over 20 years, I’m always on the lookout for a “magic bullet” that will help inspire my next piece. What many people don’t know is behind every great humor yarn lies tons of research, a healthy helping of incongruity, and a bit of visual flair to drive home the message. ChatGPT is perfect for all of them. With the release of ChatGPT 4.0, DALL-E has become an essential tool in my creative process, alongside other multimedia tools like Hedra, Faceswapper, CGDream, OpenArt and even SUNO for music.

Can ChatGPT Make You a Better Writer? Understanding and Embracing the Promise of Artificial Intelligence in Your Work
These days, technological marvels seem to pop up faster than you can say “Abracadabra!” Standing at the edge of innovation, even our smartphones become outdated before we even finish setting up our voicemail. And guess who’s leading the charge? None other than artificial intelligence, or AI, a digital wiz that’s both the apple of your eye and the monster under your bed. AI, the ultimate multitasker, can do things that usually require a human brain – like telling jokes (bad ones), understanding what you’re saying (even when you mumble), making life-altering decisions (like deciding which Netflix movie to watch), and deciphering languages (so you can finally understand your cat’s meows).…

Imagine for one moment, you’re standing on the threshold of the Pearly Gates. Saint Peter is perched high upon his pulpit examining the records of everyone waiting in line to get into Heaven. Like a final audit, if you will, he’s making one concluding determination who gets in and who goes to… well, you know… that other place. As the line inches forward, you overhear St. Peter asking each old soul cowering in front of him, “Well, how have you lived your life? What did you do with what we gave you?

What Makes a Successful Writer? Everything you need to be able to do besides write
The scene opens with the haggard writer hunched over a dilapidated Underwood, struggling to meet his midnight deadline. The air is stale and thick with cigarette smoke and there’s an empty bottle of scotch lying on the floor. By the smell of things, it’s obvious he hasn’t slept, eaten or washed his clothes in over a week. That was the Hollywood image of writers before the information highway arrived in the early 1990s.
