"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

OP is. It's not clear that the author she blocked is. "Using AI" doesn't mean "having AI write for you". Plenty of authors just use it as a research aide or a sounding board. Plus, it's a great way to learn which phrases to never use again.
I've upvoted for having the bravery to speak the true possibilities in here, but I would say the odds are kinda strongly against what you suggest.
I'm writing something for for the first time doing exactly these things. It hasn't written one word for me, but it has suggested to me what words could maybe be better words if I can think of those words. (Editing advice, preliminary only, nothing meant to be final)
I really don't understand why they don't market it for these things instead of just writing for you.
You could achieve the same thing with a thesaurus without burning the planet to a crisp.
