Language of the Soul Podcast

Author Versus AI with author Alison McBain

Dominick Domingo Season 2 Episode 63

What makes a story uniquely human? Award-winning author Allison McBain believes it's the individual experiences we bring to our writing - those personal moments that, paradoxically, create universal connections.

When artificial intelligence threatened to revolutionize creative industries, McBain responded with an extraordinary challenge. Her "Author vs AI" project saw her writing a book every week for eight months, producing 34 complete manuscripts without any technological assistance. This remarkable feat wasn't just about proving her capabilities as a writer, but about exploring the essence of human creativity in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Alison McBain is the author behind Author Versus AI. Starting on Global Book Day, April 23, 2024, she wrote a book a week for 34 consecutive weeks. Her mission was to demonstrate that one author can outdo AI in creating novels, albeit at a slower pace, yet with significantly better results. She answered the question now being posed by creators everywhere: Will AI replace me?

The answer is an emphatic NO.

Now more than ever, it’s tempting to throw our hands in the air and surrender to futility in the face of global strife. Storytellers know we must renew hope daily. We are being called upon to embrace our interconnectivity, transform paradigms, and trust the ripple effect will play its part. In the words of Lion King producer Don Hahn (Episode 8), “Telling stories is one of the most important professions out there right now.” We here at Language of the Soul Podcast could not agree more.
