Techtonic with Mark Hurst is a weekly radio show from WFMU about technology, how it's affecting us, and what we can do about it.

Apr 14, 2025: John Warner, author, "More Than Words"

ChatGPT can create “writing-related simulations,” but it has no ability to write. Only humans can write – and think – and feel. On the next Techtonic, John Warner discusses his new book “More Than Words: How to Think About Writing in the Age of AI.”
