Just lately, I’ve been diving deeper into the net writing neighborhood, and boy, do folks have opinions about AI.
Final week, I learn a publish from Sarah, a contract author I observe on LinkedIn. She ranted on-line about how “AI content material is killing creativity.” She requested ChatGPT to write down a weblog publish, and the outcome was… mediocre at finest.
Then there’s a fellow Medium author, who wrote a scathing article about his “experiment” with AI writing. He proudly declared that he’d confirmed AI content material was “ineffective” after producing a handful of articles and displaying how bland they had been.
Often, I get rapidly previous these emotional reactions, however this time it made me discover one thing.
When these writers criticize “AI content material,” they secretly want for a similar perfect situation: kind “write me a weblog publish” into ChatGPT, hit enter, and bam! On the spot, excellent content material.
And since this situation doesn’t occur, of their thoughts, it’s simply as if AI is totally ineffective.
Then, I got here to a different larger realization: this conception — shared by Sarah, and numerous different writers — is a type of magical pondering.
