One of my long-term goals has been write a couple of novels. Like maybe when this crazy decade blows over and I go onto some other stage of my life, I'll return to that idea.

I have a bunch of firm outlines for fantasy and near-term sci-fi novels, but they're all on my deep back burner.

And now I'm kind of annoyed, because by the time I have a chance to consider writing any of them, probably AI will be better than humans at writing, I don't know. And the funny thing is that one of the stories is set in 2050 and has AI as a theme, but probably by the 2030s that storyline will be obsolete anyway.

I guess the cool thing is that if generative AI gets way better, it'll eventually make it an order of magnitude cheaper to make animated stories or something from source material.
