Welcome to Intelligent Think, the podcast in which we explore what makes ideas great, how we can make our thinking better, and why it’s so important to share your ideas with the world. In this episode, Christina and Verity chat with the whole Intelligent Ink team – Elsa Klein and Dave Taylor – about AI in book creation. Together, they explore: * The opportunities and risks of using AI across different stages of the book-writing journey – from ideation and planning to editing and publishing. * Real-world examples of when AI helped authors (and when it really didn’t). * Why the human element, the author’s voice, and the journey of writing matter more than shortcuts. * The team’s idea for a “dos and don’ts” matrix to guide authors on smart AI use. We couldn’t create this podcast on our own (no really, we couldn’t!), so massive thanks to: * Geoff Ong (theme music: Massachusetts Avenue, published by Songbroker) * Our team at Intelligent Ink * And you, for listening!
