RE: AI moved the effort from thinking what to write to think what to prompt

Writing and the use of AI have many aspects. While newspapers in my country adopted the policy their journalists and writers shall write the articles themselves, recent research by an AI enthusiast and podcaster showed the biggest newspaper publishes around 30% or something with the help of AI. He used Pangram, the AI detector that is considered to be the best around. This led to quite some commotion, including the chief editor calling out publicly the research wasn't done correctly. He was wrong and had to admit that later. I know how this guy thinks and agree with him for a large part. In the process of writing, the writer is pushed to think thoroughly about what to write, which helps to bring more depth into whatever one writes about. I relate very much to that. Any article/blog post I write, I go through the same process. When the blog post is including opinions, I noticed during the writing process, my original opinion being changed because I thought about the topic in more depth, perhaps executed some more research and all that. However, I do think AI can help a lot writing articles. I recently started to use Wispr Flow. Dictating my thoughts straight into Obsidian (a markdown wiki like tool I run locally on mt laptop and phone). After that I rewrite quite a lot of this since my dictating is more like a knowledge braindump rather than proper dictation. I shall practise this method a lot more so the use of Wispr helps me create better blog posts, while spending less time in the whole process. Not there yet though hahaha

I am sure other ways of using AI in blog post/articles are very much ok. But the writing process must include the thinking process of the writer. I also think that the thinking process helps the satisfaction levels for whatever we write (and publish).

Wish you a great Sunday.
