In a nutshell, I wasn't overly impressed with the AI stuff. I did enjoy the class and the period staging, as well as the deep dive into Christie's works. And there was a lot of excellent writing advice given. But resurrecting Christie via AI was unnecessary. Interesting, but not needed to conduct a decent class of crafting crime fiction for beginners. The actress (as herself or playing Christie) would have sufficed.
Did you finish the course? What did you think about it, Kate? I am usually skeptical of all things AI but also somewhat of a sucker for all things Agatha. :D
I took the course. The AI Christie was decent since there was a human actor behind her. I feel it was more entertainment than actual writing course, but it was well done on the whole.
That’s what I’m getting from the first few lessons too. It’s surreal but enjoyable. I’m a little over halfway through now. Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

Now this is a controversial and interesting discussion I'll love to be a part of Kate.
A good mystery is the belief in the impossible.
The idea does make me uncomfortable, but I look forward to hearing your thoughts once you've finished it!
