Personally I don’t use Notepad for writing writing. Its a functional writing app. A app for copying and pasting code, or making a list, or crude ascii art. If I need to bold something, or do text formatting, thats when I open up the several orders of magnitude larger office apps.
Exactly. I write well enough.
I only use AI if I’m just stuck for words and want to get a suggestion. Sometimes it’s good enough, sometimes it’s way off base, but was enough kick to get things going in my brain.
I’d appreciate some added AI to give suggestions occasionally, but it needs to be implemented well. I hate when Word tells me to phrase something differently as if it 100% correct. No, I worded it that way because that’s how I want to say it.
The real damage will be when everybody starts sounding alike because there are defined acceptable ways to say things.
Everytime I see a commercial where someone uses AI to make something larger and embellish and such, I think of the other commercials where people use the same AI to summarize it for them.
Well that’s weird, because I didn’t need AI to improve my writing.
All it took was one very good and very short book:

I don’t agree with everything in it, but I agree with most of it.

That’s another issue, but I agree. I was just addressing the idea that this is what people need to help them be better writers.
All this will do is to teach them how to better write specific sentences. If they even read the suggestion before using it.

Yeah. I hate reading “essays” generated by an AI.
Keep it short for better reader experience.

There’s a place for more formal writing.
But the point of using precise, formal language is the intent behind it. If you’re just RNG-ing it it loses all meaning.
