I can provide an example.
I have found ChatGPT to be a valuable tool for improving the clarity and readability of my writing, particularly in my blogs and emails.
You can try this by asking questions such as "Can you improve the grammar of the following paragraphs?". You can also specify the desired tone.
It is impressive at simplifying complex technical language. Take the following sentences from a draft I wrote:
To mitigate these issues, it is recommended to simulate the effect of say n random permutations using n random hash functions (h1, h2, … hn) that map the row numbers (say 1 to k) to bucket numbers of the same range (1 to k) without a lot of collisions. This is possible if k is sufficiently large.
What ChatGPT suggested:
To address these issues, it's recommended to simulate the effect of n random permutations using n random hash functions (h1, h2, … hn). These hash functions should map the row numbers (from 1 to k) to bucket numbers within the same range (1 to k) with minimal collisions. This is achievable if the range k is large enough.
- elliotec 4y agoTry Grammarly. It's extremely good at this, and with an incredible UX.
- pncnmnp 4y agoYes, I've been using Grammarly for several years now. I still use it in conjunction with ChatGPT. It's efficient in correcting spelling and basic grammar errors. However, more advanced features are only available to premium users. At present, their $12/m fee is a bit steep for me.
- xen2xen1 4y agoInteresting. I've wondered how useful that the AI stuff added to Microsoft Office would be. Does that mean that there is be a "make my grammar" button like in the example above?
- pncnmnp 4y agoAre you referring to Microsoft Editor (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-editor https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/microsoft-edit...)? It appears to be an interesting tool - includes tone, spelling, and grammar suggestions. I have yet to try it myself.
- elliotec 4y agoThe more advanced features of chatgpt are $20/m as I’m sure you’re aware. What do you get out of chatgpt in this realm? I feel very annoyed by its constant tropes and predictable style. Is that something you dont need to care about?
- nerpderp82 4y agoIt replaces Grammarly (I also don't want that keylogger spyware running anywhere near my systems) entirely and provides additional features. Can Grammarly also write the Haikus necessary to make me chuckle?
- elliotec 4y agoDo you have evidence backing up the claims of “keylogger spyware”? Is it less of a keylogger or spyware than chatgpt in any way? It obviously doesn’t write hilarious haikus. It doesn’t write anything and that’s the point. It suggests improvements on what you write.
