First, I put my title and abstract in, then have it generate the introduction. That worked weirdly well. Then, I had a few ideas I was having trouble writing, and so I'd give a prompt and then take what it gave me, improve it, and use it as a prompt again. It really generated some excellent material.
However, if you ask for quotes with citations, I think it just makes the shit up. Careful with dealing with a non truthful oracle. But, with critical thinking, playfulness and a strong handle on the intellectual material, it can be a great writing assistant!
- MattPalmer1086 4y agoInteresting, thanks! I tend to get hung up on writing papers. I go round and round, and it takes me ages to get to the actual thing I want to write about. I may give that a go!
- dr_dshiv 4y agoYeah, it’s like you get to the “edit” stage much faster! And, you can get a lot of “obvious” ideas that you might not have considered. Also, the text tends to be looser and less harmony than my typical academic writing.
