We all benefit from thinking through what AI brings and/or will bring to us in the future. Even Word offers some sort of integrated AI (haven't tried that yet). I have explored a little with ChatGPT but really prefer pounding out my own words, with all their flaws. I do worry about those whose jobs will be affected, though.

I was looking for inspiration at the time, and all I ended up with was me judging its writing skills. I didn't think about AI in the context of other tools, though. I use ProWritingAid a lot, and I find its suggestions helpful for when I need to use a comma or maybe swap out a selection of words for something more succinct. That's still a computer providing help.Loni Townsendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05126958230703180761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589035973172290745.post-20874052381735348632024-03-06T13:13:04.689-06:002024-03-06T13:13:04.689-06:00It's fun, free, and easy.
