AI and Writer’s Detour

I heard an English professor extolling the virtue of artificial intelligence and how his students could use it to overcome a condition he called writer’s block. AI could script that first sentence for them. He rejoiced — that elusive, frustrating first sentence is no longer the stopper on the ink bottle. Should it be funny or impactful? It must be original. Good luck. Before AI, there were other ways of coping with WB. The most successful strategy being struggling through: keep looking, keep scribbling. Getting up and going for a short walk is still the healthiest choice. And smoking, though ... by Marilee Foster

Won Me Over

In March, my good friend, George Lynch, wrote to The Southampton Press expressing his, and the Southampton Town Democratic Committee’s, support for congressional candidate John Avlon [“Blown Away,” Letters, March 7]. George aptly described our Democratic Committee as “not an easy crowd,” and that “unanimity is foreign to us.” Upholding that tradition, I was open-minded but skeptical about John Avlon and approached the meeting with the idea that this former CNN senior political analyst, and co-founder of “No Labels,” would need an impressive showing to get my support. It just took that one meeting to win me over, and shortly ... by Staff Writer
