Map the Terrain: Foundations of Writing with AI

Have you ever wanted to write a family story, thoughtful email, personal essay, proposal, toast, or creative piece but found yourself wondering where to begin?

ChatGPT can be a patient and surprisingly useful writing partner. It can help you explore an idea, ask questions, organize your thoughts, develop a draft, and consider new possibilities. But you remain the writer: the person who supplies the meaning, recognizes what is true, protects what is private, and decides what belongs on the page.

In this friendly, nontechnical three-class series, AI expert Bridget Burke will demonstrate a practical, human-centered approach to writing with AI. You will learn how to move from an early idea to finished work while preserving your own voice, judgment, and sense of purpose.

No complicated prompt formulas are required. Bring your curiosity and perhaps an idea that has been waiting patiently for your attention.
