Stop letting AI write your content.

Loved the replies she got:
Especially AI developed by misogynistic incels who dont consider women persons.
Nothing dumbs down a society quite like AI.
They are so lazy they dont even think to proofread it. I am so tired of this.
I sell I/T. Been doing it for 15 years. AI is still in its beta stage. Every "news" agency that is letting AI represent them in print or online is a fucking idiot. Real news agencies check their sources 3 times, right?

(33,015 posts)Proofreading is a lost art. Human beings are getting lazier and lazier. Which makes us dumber and dumber.
I proofread a friend's novel. The manuscript filled a large sized American Tourister suitcase. It took me four months.
Today, people have neither the attention span nor the inclination.
The expanded influences on societal attitudes and the sustainable growth of a true civilized society are immeasurable. AI is not the answer.

0rganism
(25,602 posts)If you want to get good results, you personally need to be involved in review and editing of the output, whatever it may be. AI is still a tool even if its gatekeepers/proprietors already pretend it to be a djinn. You may need to redo a prompt for certain agents or reconfigure a base model to efficiently accomplish a particular task.
Fire-and-forget usage generates errors which are easily spotted by alert humans who, after all, are expected to consume the output in some form. AI should not be allowed to make a publishing decision on its own -- not yet, it's not ready for that yet.
Sympthsical
(10,951 posts)I make all kinds of dumb little mistakes when I'm editing or rephrasing a sentence, and my mind blows right past it, because it thinks the problem is fixed.
It would be a little weird to use AI to write one basic English sentence. And Deadline, which has written many articles critical of the effects of AI on the industry, would be an interesting violator.
