Ten years ago I was writing several blogs on various subjects - F1 motor racing, Music, Classic Cars, Great Romances and, most crushingly, a personal journal that included my thoughts on America, memories of England and Africa, opinion, humour, writing and anything else that occurred. It all became too much (I was attempting to update the journal every day) and I collapsed, exhausted and thoroughly disillusioned in the end.
So this blog is indeed a Toe in the Water, a place to document my thoughts in and on WdC but with a determination not to get sucked into the blog whirlpool ever again. Here's hoping.
I’m a pantser by nature, but I have a pretty finely tuned instinct because I took the Elements of Literature textbooks quite seriously in my homeschooling, and read about a million books a week of all sorts as a kid (including stuff beyond my age group…) Aided by a vivid imagination, I find myself scribbling loose brainstorming ideas at the top of a document and then jumping right into the story from there. I haven’t written a real second draft since March… which means I’m churning out somewhat sloppy stories at an alarming rate
I was curious here at 3:30 am my time and ran his or her episodes 2 and 3 through an AI filter. 1/3 of episode 2 is written by AI. The 3rd was completely human-written.
To be honest, tracker, I have never used ChatGP or any other AI application so I'm not really qualified to comment. But it does seem to me that the reviewer hits this particular nail on the head - if we use the thing for the hard things in life, we're only going to make it harder for ourselves in the long run. It's a general effect seen all too often in life and there's no reason why AI should be different.
It's great that we have so many labour-saving devices in modern life and I'm sure none of us would care to go back to the old way of no option but hard physical labour. But it's also true that, as a result, we're soft and less able to care for ourselves in a crisis. I know that I, for one, dread the next power outage.
