At Oct. 2025 ,Yoav Yariv and I did a remarkable podcast with the Founding Director of Yale's Digital Ethics Center, Prof. Luciano Floridi.

Prof. Floridi is a leading philosopher on the issues of AI and creativity. His advice to writers is invaluable.Put all of your preconceptions about academics and philosophers aside. Luciano is entertaining, helpful and very provocative. If you think that you're pushing the boundaries of what AI can do.... wait till you hear his process for writing an entire book with AI and THEN getting it published by Columbia University.We touch on a lot of topics close to the r/WritingWithAI community's hearts:

• AI pushback from the general public
• How to get AI to work with you
• The thing no one talks about: Writing is hard work and Writing With AI is hard work... but different, and with remarkable resultsSome of you were good enough to send in questions -- we got to ALL of them in the course of the interview.Enjoy!
