Dear Eva, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to do this newsletter. I am excited to learn more about Data-Driven Fiction. I am a software engineer who has been playing around with artificial intelligence in his spare time. I have been an avid reader for most of my life and have recently had the opportunity to write some fiction. It is great to create something from nothing, but it is hard to come up with realistic and unique ideas. I'm proud to be a part of the DDF community and can't wait to learn how to create new and exciting content.

S.A. thank you for your introduction : )

As a long-time fan of science fiction and fantasy, it's really exciting to be part of the next big media revolution! I, too, want to learn what it takes to compose truly realistic and immersive stories. The future is bright!

Thank you for being with us. How did you first get involved in Data-Driven Fiction?

I'm a poet and fiction writer, and your post is very much in line with my own thoughts. I was a hardcore science fiction reader when I was a kid, and all of my stories as a young writer were heavily influenced by it. But as I discovered the history and methods of science, the romance began to fade me. The future became about organization, calculation, and control — not so much about discovery and wonder. As technology advances, there is less surprise in the world each year. But the Poetry of the Future will have to come from the margins, from artists and scientists who have little regard for the orthodoxies of their time. And the Data-Driven Fiction will become less about prediction and more about modulation. I'm very excited to see what this new millennium brings, which is why I'm so glad to be here.

Aug, I love your poetry, and I appreciate your honesty. It's rare to find someone so well attuned to the changing times. My first impression was that you sounded like a very complex person, and I'm glad that you were able to share more. This is my first time doing this, but I feel it will be fun!

Hi Eva and everyone else, I'm Stella. I'm a sci-fi fanatic, and I enjoy writing about what I imagine the future as looking like. I enjoy writing futuristic stories based on expected technological advances and hypothetical scenarios.

I like thinking about technology's effects on the world around us, and how it shapes the world politically, socially, and financially.

I'm also an avid follower of geopolitical events and enjoy imagining various what-if scenarios based on the information available to us.

Lorna Dolan's avatar

Eva, Thank you for the invite. I am really looking forward to seeing how technology develops and how this will aid writers in the future. I use Dragon Voice Technology for all my writing and have marveled at how the technology has developed in the past ten years. I am a writer and author of science fiction and fantasy novels. I also write fantasy games for Dungeons and Dragons. I love developing new worlds where I can place my characters and delving deeper into the politics, laws, and religions of the worlds I create, and developing some back stories to my main themes. Sometimes I feel my imagination does not go far enough into the complexities of worldbuilding and would love to see how technology can assist with this. I have been an avid reader all my life and my parents encouraged this. My other interests include history, archeology, cooking and travelling.

Lorna, thank you for being with us. I do not know much about Dragon Voice Technology, but I am impressed that you are using it. I'd love to hear more about your writing and what you enjoy most.

Juliet's avatar

Hello Eva and Community. I'm Juliet. I love books. I don't like maths but I love doing research. I love when I read a well-crafted piece and it inspires me to want to write too but then I wonder if I'm wording it right and if people can read my heart as I hope for them to. Recently, I realized, I love editing. It's what makes me love a book, the flow of words that cinch perfectly together.

I love moments when I have an epiphany about myself. "Oh, so that's why I don't like that."

I try not to think much of the future. Then again, it's certainly going to change regardless of my stance so why bother?

Expand full comment
Eva Rtology's avatar

Hello Juliet. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us. I want to point out that editing is essential in any piece of writing. The flow of words that cinch perfectly together can be emphasized by appropriate punctuation and capital letters. I believe you would also agree that crucial moments of realization are perfect moments to create.

I'm happy to hear that you try not to think much of the future, but I believe it is vital to think about the future, especially regarding how we can live together. So, in conclusion, I want to motivate you to keep doing what you are doing as a human being. We need people like you for us to continue on with our journey through life.

Socrates Morilla's avatar

Hi Eva, I am a Photography professional in Miami with 20 yrs experience in commercial, editorial, and event sectors. I watched first-hand the digital camera revolution and jumped on in the early 2000's. Now I am witnessing the AI revolution and it feels the same way as it did in 2003. Its a disruptive technology that may again change not only the market, but how we work. My hope is to digest as much as I can to be apart of this new tech, much like when I switched from film to digital. It's replacing an older, slower, more tactile craft with a newer, faster, more algorithmic craft. Thanks!

Eva Rtology's avatar

Hi Socrates. It's nice to hear from someone who has seen directly how technology can improve photography.

Like you, I believe AI is a disruptive technology with the ability to radically alter how we work and create. It's incredible to think about how far we've come from the early days of digital photography, and the possibilities that AI opens up for photography are simply mind-boggling.

One of the most fascinating aspects of AI in photography is how it may supplement and increase human creative abilities. We may use AI to discover new ways of viewing and interpreting the world around us, revealing previously unseen patterns and insights. We can also use AI to automate many of the more routine aspects of photography, freeing us our time to focus on more imaginative and expressive areas of our craft.

I can't wait to watch what distinct new artworks and techniques emerge as we push the limits of what this fantastic technology can do.
