More People Should Write
- cardboardbach 3y agoMaybe true 11 years ago, but today? GPT can write more material than we could ever read, and it's high quality writing.
- dingosity 3y agoI disagree with the bit about it being "high quality writing," virtually every example I've seen is word salad at worst and dialectical nonsense at best. If your standard is "that looks like a sentence" then sure, it's largely okay. But if your standard is "communicates a concept" then we're still a long way off.
- cardboardbach 3y agoThat's okay, because GPT can handle both writing and reading. We don't have to do either one any more!
- dingosity 3y agoI was going to make a snarky comment like "more people should keep their opinions to themselves," but that's not really fair. More people should write if for no other reason than you get better at writing if you have practice. And even if you don't have anything interesting to say now, maybe you will later. It would be a shame if we didn't get to hear a brilliant idea just because the thinker felt their writing skills were substandard. Or worse yet, the ideas were dismissed because the style of the text was just a bit off.
- eimrine 3y agoI have maybe 10 almost-written articles. I stopped to write each when I realized they became too private for me.
