Holden and Callum

Dear Gordon Korman,
We are brothers in middle school and we love your books. We wanted to know if you use AI (be honest🧐). If so, how do you incorporate it into your writing? If you don’t what are your thoughts on OTHER authors using it for their books?

These are my favorite books (Holden): Slacker, Unteachables, Super Teacher Project

And these are my favorite books (Callum): Restart,The Fort, and Faker.

Hi, Holden & Callum,

Thanks for posting. I'm pleased to hear that you're both fans of my books.

I have never used Artificial Intellignce for any of my books. First of all, I wouldn't really know how to begin. And second, if another source was creating it, then it wouldn't be MY book, would it? Aside from playing a few games with ChatGPT, like asking it to write limericks and being amazed at what it can actually do, I have never really fooled with it at all. It may be the future, but I would hope not. Creativity still exists in this world -- doesn't it? And that covers my thoughts on other authors using AI! I may be old-fashioned, but I'm not for it.

Thanks again for writing, guys. -----Gordon Korman-----
