Thank You, AI. You Are Awesome!
“It’s going to steal our jobs!”, or, “It’s making us lazy!”.
Here’s my two cents.
And I will say that, as far as my experience with using AI goes, I’m actually on board with its existence.
Disclaimer: I don’t use AI software every time I write. But I appreciate that when I use it, I’m getting useful assistance that makes my writing process easier.
As a writer, I adhere to the rule of not copy-pasting word per word as is and call it the day. That is without any doubt.
Because, by all accounts, I have enough writing knowledge and skills to see that AI-generated sentences are lifeless. Robotic. I wouldn’t want to be the reader who reads a piece of article that I can’t emotionally relate to.
What I always do instead, is take advantage of AI’s generative ability and efficiency which I can then read through and edit to make the generated sentences feel ‘human’ again.
Aside from that, deciphering the best prompts or commands to use to ensure the best AI-generated results is currently my favorite thing to do because so far, I can count more than a handful of times where I would get frustrated when AI fails to give me what the exact answer/result I’m looking for.
Thankfully, there are now plenty of online tutorials such as this clip on how to create the best prompts for the best AI-generated results, and to make the overall process even easier than before.
Also, it has now become a reason for me to keep learning how to better engineer the prompts.
So yeah, thank you AI. You are awesome!
I can most definitely treat you as my advanced writing partner.
