as an experiment I've been using ChatGPT to line edit and critique my current WIP.Bros, this guy is making good points, it's finding shitI do not plan to use ANY prose generated by AI in this project,but basically I write a chapter, and run it through and it's giving...what seems like pretty solid advise. (I've fed into it the market I'm writing to, my goals with this project, the overall story) and I'm getting legit good adviceOf course you have to discount the fact that ChatGPT is a sycophant, and will think any idea you have is good, so I'm being careful of that aspect of itcan this really be a tool? Do we HAVE to go full Butlerian Jihad?Am I a hack
Ask it to enter brutal model in critique and report back.
If you use ChatGPT to edit your writing you will end up with bland, sanitized writing that lacks any distinguishing characteristics. Even Microsoft Word's suggestions are toxic for a writer.

>>24994520>Am I a hackyes
>>24995253very extrepillisitic but using a theseusrus is ruinously
>>24994520Most here do not want to get involved with it. /wg/ and /wng/ all shun it. And technology is more focused on the image generation and coding.AFAIK there is no board that has an ai writing general, which is a shame. /lit/ should have one, but it will eventually get jannied since the seethe is so strong. It's the exact same emotions going on with graphic artists, massive cope and denial.ChatGPT isn't that good, Gemini and Grok are the best rn.
Stop. You can still save your soul. Stop using AI.
>>24994520I use it all the time for moral support as well as critique. I'm pretty neurotic and indecisive, so it helps me get over shit like that. Not to mention, as you already noted, it makes really, really good points. So as someone who has problem admitting that he's a hack, I can safely say it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. It's made my life 10,000x more managable.
>>24994520Are you gonna credit all the jeets at ChatGPT HQ as editors in your novel?
>>24994520AI has this weird lifecycle to me where the first time I use it, it’s extremely helpful and seems almost supernaturally good at solving a problem or saving me a ton of time on something. Then if I continue to use it, it seems to get less competent and shitty over time. I feel like it’s one of the following things:1. The first time you use it, you’re using it to solve something you’ve already put a ton of thought and effort into it, thus you give it an extremely detailed and well written prompt that allows it to give you exactly what you wanted. Over time, you put less effort into prompts and start to rely on it more, making yourself dumber and by extension making it’s output dumber as time goes on2. It’s always been shitty, but it’s extremely impressive the first time around and only after getting more familiar with it do the flaws present themselves.Either way, for anything beyond fancy googling, it’s best practice to never ask it to do anything you couldn’t just do yourself (a boring, shitty and low stakes portion of your work) in order to save time for more interesting aspects of a project imo.t. The man with the opinion most people will probably have in 5 years once the luddites and their AI maximalist counterparts btfo themselves under the weight of their own cringe
>>24996469You definitely get out what you put in. It encourages you to be lazy by offloading cognition. If you fall for that instead of using it to enhance cognition you can expect increasingly lazy results. It can also start to fall apart in longer exchanges regardless. That's a known problem. They're definitely shitty at some tasks and they're amazing at others. If you ask it to do something it's bad it you're going to get shitty results. Same with people except AI won't tell you that it's shitty at something.
>>24996498I definitely understand the mindset of people who insist you’re tempting fate by using it. As long as you continue to keep yourself mentally sharp and don’t actually outsource your brainpower to it, it can help you achieve amazing things in record time. I compose music, for instance, and I have a massive backlog of nice little melodies that I had absolutely no idea what to do with. I fed a few of the best ones into Suno and it turned them into legitimately great songs, but for second string ideas and actually attempting to collaborate with it the output was pretty bad and kind of sent me into an existential tailspin for a few weeks where I was afraid I’d lost my ability to create, so I put it away and regained my creative mojo back pretty quick when I stopped using it entirely.The thought of schoolchildren never learning to write or think because AI can just do it for you is depressingly bleak and basically an inevitability unless education is fundamentally restructured in a drastic way.
>>24996517>I fed a few of the best ones into Suno and it turned them into legitimately great songsSuno is crazy good at making your songs into one of the genres it knows (it knows a lot of them) but you are limited to those, it does get tiresome... But it will be better next year. And we aren't too far away from normies vibing to ai pop songs. I use Grok, Gemmi, NotebookLM and Suno
>>24996458>I can safely say it's one of the best things that's ever happened to me. It's made my life 10,000x more managable.I am wondering how many people here agree with this, and which board do they post on.
