SUMMARY:Monthly Guild Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Scott Tilley: Writing & AI\, an Ask Me Anything Session \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFew topics have generated as much conversation—and controversy(!)—within the creative communities as artificial intelligence.  \n\n\n\n\nWhat role\, if any\, should AI play in a writer’s creative process?\n\n\n\nWhere/How can it be useful?\n\n\n\nWhere does it raise concerns?\n\n\n\nHow do writers navigate a technology that continues to evolve almost daily?\n\n\n\n\nFormer Guild President\, Scott Tilley\, returns to the Guild for a timely and highly interactive conversation on Writing & AI. \n\n\n\nRather than a traditional presentation\, Scott will begin with a brief look at his history with the Guild before exploring AI from two sides of the writer’s desk: writing with AI\, and writing for AI. He’ll touch on which AI tools writers are using and how they’re using them\, questions surrounding ownership and whether AI systems “steal” our work\, and the larger question of whether a machine can truly be creative. \n\n\n\nScott will also explore a new consideration for writers: what it means to write for an Internet where an increasing share of what we publish may be read first by machines. \n\n\n\nFrom there\, the floor opens to you for an Ask Me Anything session—an opportunity to bring your questions\, concerns\, experiences\, curiosities\, and of course\, differing perspectives into the conversation. \n\n\n\nWhether you have embraced AI as another tool in the writer’s toolbox\, remain firmly skeptical of its place in the creative arts\, or simply want to better understand what all the discussion is about\, this meeting is designed to encourage thoughtful conversation and an exchange of ideas among writers. \n\n\n\nAI is changing quickly\, and the questions surrounding it are changing right along with it! Come prepared to ask\, listen\, share\, and explore one of the most consequential topics facing writers today. \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker:Scott Tilley is an emeritus professor at the Florida Institute of Technology and the president and founder of Precious Publishing. He served as president of the Space Coast Writers Guild from 2014 to 2018 and is a SCWG Fellow. His recent books include Death of a Professor (2026)\, The Silicon Heart (2025)\, and Systems Analysis & Design (13th edition\, 2024). He writes the weekly “Spirituality Today” column for Florida Today and essays on technology and culture on Medium. He is also president of Big Data Florida and founder of the Center for Technology & Society\, and he holds a Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Victoria. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nLocation: Lamplighter Village Clubhouse 500 Lantern Blvd\, Melbourne\, FL 32934
