How do you get better at writing? ChatGPT says I'm already good, just need to work on readability...
>>
It's a case by case thing, everyone is different. In this case, I think you should start by finding an extremely high ledge, after which you should jump off of it.

You should post an excerpt here and compare /lit/‘s critiques with the bot’s. Obviously sift through the hurtful remarks

Yes, yes, my little goy, you are a great writer, magnificent, perhaps the next great author. Now, upgrade your GPT subscription to "Pro" please, or you'll never be able to publish in such a cruel world that despises latent talent such as yours.

Step #1. Stop listening to ChatGPT
Step #2. Start studying language and grammar

This is actually quite good but only works for humanities sorts, for stemfags it seems to cause them to lose all concept of the figurative, everything becomes literal and any ambiguity results in a syntax error. For humanities sorts th

Why would you ever willingly feed the fetus of your mind into the thievery and regurgitation algorithm? You know the exact passage you gave it will appear in some other writers AI output from a prompt that they likely won't clean up or change at all. You've just sold your soul for less than nothing, and you won't get a day in court over it either.

Palmed the trackpad, deleted most of my post.

For humanities sorts the very direct and tangible relation between code and interpretation/compilation is great at getting you to really think about your writing, the cause and the effect.

You are an absolute retard for engaging with AI for your writing.

>>24738659
I don't know, it has its uses but you should never listen to it. It is a useful idiot.

AI is lying to you. Ask it how honest it is currently calibrated to so that it does not hurt your feelings. Probably a 5 or 6. Now tell it to be brutally honest, 11 out of 10. Then ask if it you’re good enough to get published. It will tell you the truth.

>retard tries to win
Just feed it your writing and ask it to improve it, which it will fail miserably at and completely miss the point but it will also highlight a good many failings in your writing assuming you are self aware and literate.

The hardest part of writing is finding people to read your bad writing. It’s torture. So, torture the machine. Make it review your work and use it like an alpha reader. It’s good at being diagnostic (recognizing patterns) but it’s bad at being prescriptive (producing answers), so use it for what it’s good at.

feed a rebeca yarros, a kuang, or your smut porn of preference and see if if showers them with starst just as it did with you. You'll probably be disapointed.

Pretty much. The most difficult aspect of writing is taking the reader into consideration and AI gives you a reader who will explain exactly what they got out of it as long as you don't ask them directly and don't ask them to elaborate. Just the simple question of "improve this bit of writing" and nothing more. Ignore the suggestions regarding followup questions or asking it to elaborate, they don't matter, treat AI as the reader and understand that their immediate and initial response is all that matters because that is all that matters for 99.9% of readers.

Having AI rewrite your writing in the style of an author who is an important influence on you is just as useful and will highlight different issues with your writing, but you need to make sure the AI does not realize you are the same person as when you asked it to improve your writing or it will take that into context.

Most people think that pliers are the proper tool if they can use them to get a grip on the head of a screw and AI is no different. Learn every tool available to you and its proper use.

Read. Don't use Chatgpt for writing advice. It can't write for shit, so its standards will be all fucked up

That's upsetting. It gave a fanfiction on AOOO 4.5 stars.

>>24738845
This, true writing skill only comes from reading good books and developing a unique style from experience, from exposure to different writing styles. It even has a doubled benefit of sharpening your tongue. I've never been as well-spoken as when I had just finished reading Shadow of the Torturer.

ChatGPT is only sycophantic in the default setting. If you ask it for a realistic take, it will give you one.
>>
>>24738858
Is it tho? It shoudnt be, at least if you understand it has literaly validated teminaly psychotic people into killing themselves. It only bothers you cause you are retarded and think its some sort of objective art critic.

Retarding comes from being retarded.
