Q8 (cont 2). I enjoy good challenges to my viewpoints and the resulting interesting discussion that arises from them. AI can present me with lots of information and assumptions that challenge my views & it doesn't care if I argue otherwise. People don't as comfortably argue viewpoints. #TWSOchat #AI

Q8. Yes, I'd take a class or attend a hands on workshop that was focused around AI and Writing: it and AI/the Arts are topics that intrigue me. If I don't learn about it, I will "fall behind" in tech, but worse, I'll stop mentally growing too early. I'm not old enough for that. #TWSOchat

Q7. (cont. 2) AI might be used in education for creative writing in a positive way if we presume that its role in that area is confined to presenting facts and the opinions of others for consideration. At this stage of its development, it can't really draw conclusions. It CAN argue.

Q6. (cont.) Whether I agree or disagree with the general consensus of current thought on any topic is what I'm using AI to help me develop. Ultimately I have to make and express my conclusions for myself. Too many people assume that AI can do that for them. It can't.

Q6. Things that I see going wrong with AI and writing are that some people think that what the AI says is the final synthesis of current thought on the topic: it isn't. It's just fairly extensive research into current cultural thought from the loudest voices in the domain.

Q5. (cont.) I don't use it for the actual writing: I'm still vain enough to think that if I'm writing about something, I'm better at it than any writing I read in the research phase, and while I shape my writing based on what I've learned, learning isn't the end of writing.

Q5. (cont.) This is helpful in my technology writing in particular: I can access proposed viewpoints that don't match mine in this way, and my writing on the topic gains clarity and focus and is less biased by my original state of knowledge and thought as a result.

Q4. I haven't used it for business writing beyond project breakdowns for complex, domain overlapping projects or social media posts, or any of my creative writing attempts. I see AI more as a research assistant than as a collaborator or project entity - a data hound, if you will.#TWSOchat #AIwriting

Q4. I've mostly used AI for drafting outlines and making lists of things that you need to do: it's very helpful in terms of outlining projects because I can use it to drill down from broad outline to granular tasks, and repeat until I get the whole picture before me. #TWSOchat #AIwriting

Q3. I see AI tools as a good way to expand my thoughts around a topic, but I don't consider the results as nuanced or carefully examined as what a strong human thinker and writer can produce. And differing viewpoints make the discussion - writing is about generating discussion, yes? #TWSOchat

Q3. I think that writing generated by AI could be acceptable as starting source material, but so far, I haven't seen any that I would want to put out into the scribiverse with my name on it. I know it's allegedly improving, but I still wouldn't want to accept the stuff I get as legitimate. #TWSOchat

Q2. (cont. 2.)But yellow journalism has been around for a couple of centuries, so not all publishers are motivated by as much love of the form as this.

q2 (cont.) Q2. I don't know of any publishers who DON'T have strong feelings about AI-written material, so I suspect the ones who care about their own work are going to continue to do so.

Q2. Yes, I do think that publishers should do that kind of detection and prevention work: although most publishing houses for traditional writing submissions probably do that anyhow nowadays along with the work of checking for plaguerism.

Q1 (cont part 3) But I wouldn't consider the results from any of the 3 or 4 prompts I used as stand alone work - it was more a matter of gathering a lot of data and ideas quickly, and then synthesizing those myself to come up with something I felt was appropriate.

Q1 (cont). It cut down on a LOT of "starting struggle" by providing a lot of ideas and possibilities, and luckily, I am a passably good editor, so I could get to the essay refinement stage much quicker than if I'd started with my usual outline in point form and then developed the essay from there.

Q1. Yes, I've used it to jump-start some of my promotional and descriptive writing for my arts business, and while it helped me get started a lot faster, I found that I still needed to do a lot of refining and editing to make the writing really effective.
