"Fun" with AI

Just a hint of bias against older women writers.

My new book, Write & Sell a Well-Seasoned Romance, launches at the end of August. It’s a guide to create, edit, publish and market a late life Romance novel. So my publicist decided to use AI to create an image of an older woman writing a Romance novel. Here’s what AI came up with:

After viewing this abomination, the obvious question was: What would AI generate as an image of an older man writing a Romance novel? Here it is:

Hackneyed, but not bizarre.

We women after midlife make our presence known in science, in politics, and in the media. But pushing back on gendered ageism takes all of us working together. I’ve long held that creativity is a fun way to subvert the dominant paradigm. We can change the narrative in the larger culture, one sexy story at a time. That’s why I wrote my new book, Write & Sell a Well-Seasoned Romance. Pre-order yours at your favorite online store. Start your author adventure in late life Romance, and join the fun revolution.

And who knows? Maybe one of these days an AI image of an older woman writer will ditch the beard and the extra fingers.
