> note: I used GPT-4 to boilerplate the essay with my talking points then heavily edited it. Call it plagarism, I consider it "reducing the amount of time I have to spend writing a formal essay for my bullet points so I can spend that time instead with the visiting friends I have in town". I use compilers every day to cheat on turning mental abstractions into assembly, which is kind of what I consider essays to be, so it's not a huge ethics issue for me but feel free to interpret it differently. I'm perfectly capable of writing an essay from scratch too, it's just, slower.
just give me the bulletpoints
- version_five 3y agoI actually had to write a letter for something today, I wrote some steam of conciousness and then tried to get gpt to coerce it into a passable letter. It captured everything I wrote and turned it into a high school essay, with cliche metaphors and adjectives people pick to sound literary. I asked it to rewrite and played around a bit, then eventually edited my steam of conciousness into something actually coherent and (to me) authentic. I have made good use of chatgpt, but it's definitely not there on writing, and I agree that bullet points are way more preferable than the aspiring english major prose chatgpt seems to favor.
