No theoretics or fear mongering. We’ll look at 10 ways AI has been employed in real life, and assess how helpful it actually was in each instance and how a different tool, prompt, or approach could have worked better. Case studies will include creating book blurbs (pretty good), generating fantasy artwork (amazing), researching retreat locations (epic fail), brainstorming headline ideas (great), assisting with writing scenes (flop), generating definitions (superb), and giving advice (outright dangerous).

Bio: Jeremy P. Madsen has used Chat GPT, MidJourney, DALL-E, Copilot, and Claude, and has seen lots of other people use them (for better or for worse). Jeremy is an administrative consultant for Berrett-Koehler Publishers and the operations manager for BK Authors, Inc., as well as a self-published author of epic fantasy novels. From 2020 to 2024, Jeremy was the operations and conference manager for LDSPMA. He loves capes.
