Karen Jennings: Using AI to write could mean the extinction of poetry | News24
Feeling comes first, feeling drives us, feeling makes us individually alive, and that’s what poetry communicates. AI has no feelings.

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 132678:
You don't need to write every day: you just need to keep your imagination alight. Feed it with books, with art, with films and theatre. That way it will always be ready when you need it.

Born cerebral palsied, SHERYL JAMES spends her early life arguing with the world & God. After one failed & two successful Comrades marathons, she resigns from her job & at the unlikely age of 33 she is unexpectedly launched into sprinting. Her trajectory is set for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympic Games.
