And so it begins in full force.
Today, both Mailchimp and Hootsuite (very popular tools which I happen to use for @thunderbird newsletters and social media) invited me to use #AI to compose Facebook posts, tweets, and emails, respectively.
I won't be using AI tools for writing. But you should know that it's starting to get exponentially more difficult knowing if the content you're absorbing is from a human or from something like #ChatGPT.
@killyourfm My favorite content is from a human who used #AI :)
@ned I love certain AI-driven applications! Like Midjourney for example. I'm just saying that AI could never capture my unique writing "voice" and style.
Or at least, I hope it can't..
@thunderbird Sure, but it can make something somewhat close to your style. It will output much more/faster than you can, but the quality will be quite different. I edit a lot more than I write, so LLMs are a great tool for me. They're kinda useless for pure writers.
Oregon Coast Trail @killyourfm@layer8.space@ned I could definitely see using LLMs for idea generation and research on my end.
@thunderbird if you're a fiction writer, instruction-following LLMs can help you prototype possible dialogs. This is what character.ai is about now. Perhaps you can set up a character based on your writings? #ChatGPT is more like a postal office employee. Too formal for non-technical writing IMO.
