Weyland’s Whey
by Weyland Smith
Wey’s Predictions
(He’s been wrong about everything else!)
Pagans–especially Wiccans–won’t like using AI to construct spells, help write how-tos, or do magickal research. An absence of flesh and blood humanity will be thought to taint the effectiveness of supernatural dealings, and many will avoid all use of AI in their shadow work. No real magick is possible in it, they’ll say. (Two flaws in this logic: just how human are the entities and forces we’re dealing with already? And aren’t these objections akin to believing you have to write out spells in longhand instead of using a keyboard to ensure success?) This trend won’t last forever, but it will be a significant one in our lifetimes. Result: As AI becomes ubiquitous, Pagans will turn to human discussion groups for ideas and inspiration. The irony here is that these chat groups will probably get together online. And so it goes…
“Be Useful”
Schwarzengger said it first. Papa Schwarzenegger, that is.

Decades later, those words inspired a book. Love him or hate him, he made the New York Times bestseller list.
