Writers, Get With the Program: Quit or Get Smarter
Quit whining and worrying over ChatGPT and other ai programs coming for your livelihood and make a decision. Lay down and hand it over or figure out how to embrace it and grow.
It’s not going away and it absolutely can (and will be!) replacing humans in some aspect and functions in almost every industry. And it’s happening at lightning speed. Even the openAI CEO expressed concern in a recent interview. (ABC News)
Sitting around waiting to see what’s going to happen is an invitation to be replaced. You can’t afford to get behind with this one. Get behind…get left behind.
Writers. Can it write like a human? The new chatGPT4 can, yes. And it takes so little to “train it” to have any conceivable style and personality.
What’s different about 4? It has reasoning capability. Like a human. And because of that, it will even lie and with great confidence (like a human).
It even understands complex humor. It can “look at” a picture or meme and tell you with perfect clarity and precision exactly what’s funny about it and why.
Treat chatGPT and the ai revolution as any successful person would any other obstacle. As an opportunity to learn. An opportunity to grow. An opportunity for even greater success!
I’m not suggesting you allow ai to do your writing for you. That just makes ai the writer and you, not.
No, what I’m suggesting is that you become familiar with how ai writes, particularly ChatGPT4, and you use it to become a better, stronger, more creative writer. Learn how to stand out and make sure your unique style and distinct creativity shines.
Be aware of its effectiveness in mimicking any style and of its ability to weave incredible intelligence throughout.
Play with it. Read about it. Read things it’s written. And don’t forget it is continuously learning, growing, morphing so you’ll need to do the same.
You, stay on top of it…continue to learn, to grow.
When you view ai and incorporate it into your life this way, it will serve to enhance your writing. It will help you grow stronger, smarter even, and take your writing to heights that will thrill your readers (and even you!).
