 Theses are my thoughts and ramblings as I forge my way through this thing they call life. |
| Birthday Bastion 2025 September 2: Prompt 2: The difference with last year’s celebrations is the implementation of Artificial Intelligence. AI/ChatGPT: A pest or a blessing for writers? Give us your thoughts. I am not a fan. I mean it can be interesting and helpful once you have generated your own work. I know some people who even use it to help them work through story ideas, but I would still be careful. I know Autocrit.com has an option of a story analyzer to help guide you through your story. It can even do a reverse outline. I like the concept of that. So I guess it is not all bad. Still thoughts of Skynet linger. One must always be conscious and aware of what you are doing and why. Never act mindlessly or let it take over. Giving away control is never a good idea. Even Grammarly is not always correct. I would be willing to see what could be done. Keeping an open mind. My word count is only at 134 and apparently I need more.... like 350 sooooooo.... one needs to remember to READ the fine print when one is joining up.  I read a few other writer's ideas and really found Robert's comments really hit home. I agree with his idea that AI is like any other tool. It can be used for good or for bad - it all depends on the user. I do think AI can be helpful for people with accessibility issues. Speech to Text software has improved over the years. I remember trying one program and finding the delay drove me crazy - imagine the poor ADHD kid trying to use it. We had to cover the monitor while we worked. I found pacing and not looking at the screen also helped. But now.... you can use the technology to type a text. Thought watch spellcheck. That sucker can mess with your words.... partiularly if you swear. [now how many of you just went to checkg that out?] I have a friend who has named her ChatGPT stuff - one is Alfred and the other is Bixley. She finds asking these things questions cuts down a lot of her research time. Even though I don't have a Chatgpt account, I find myself asking her to look up something. I now have a whopping 362 words. |
