How ChatGPT and Stephen King became my best friends

How ChatGPT and Stephen King became my best friends

In this episode, I talk about my irrational dislike for the word rarely and reflect on my experience with phrases like humbling experience and gravitating towards.

I also touch on the internet—specifically YouTube—and the way video titles have turned into loud, screaming promises designed to grab attention at all costs.

I also talk about AI—how I use it daily as a software engineer and why, despite all the hype, it still requires real understanding, especially in complex fields like programming. I share my thoughts on why asking good questions and writing good prompts is becoming a crucial skill, and how AI helps me with writing in English without taking over my creative process.

Finally, I talk about my first short horror story: how AI partially inspired it, where I drew the line, and why inspiration isn’t the same as stealing. I reflect on writing, reading Stephen King's stories, feeling humbled by famous authors’ work, and the hardest part of storytelling—making the reader actually feel something.
