I use AI to analyze my writing. I ask it to tell me if anything is confusing, or if anything is contradictory, or if anything is repetitive. Is my tense wrong. Are there factual errors you can detect etc.
I don't have a specific set of questions I use. If I'm worried my writing has an issue, I ask questions surrounding the issue until I understand the issue better and can make changes I choose.
I might ask it if there are any problems that I have not thought of you writing. Sometimes it suggests things I've overlooked, or assumed people knew, etc.
I find this is a good approach that allows me to be completely authentic and point out issues that I may or may not be aware of and may or may not want to change
I’m glad to see your stance on pure AI writing as what I’ve read that was pure AI generated sounded that way. I’m fortunate that I’m not trying to make a living with my writing so going viral has never been my goal. I write a weekly science fiction column on Substack and sometimes it resonates with readers and sometimes doesn’t but the writing is all me.
I think your attitude towards your tool and AI writing is great, as well as your acceptance that not everyone is jumping on the AI train. I’ll continue to write the road less traveled and hopefully some people will join me.
I don't think that AI in the future will just be refining your writing, I believe it will become more and more a co-creation. BUT: you need to have a fundamental expertise in writing, you need to understand what information an AI needs to create a good piece of text with you. AI will enable people who thought so far they couldn't write but understand how an article works. It will help people that are strong in editing but not good in drafting. And - and this is where tools like Note Smith enter the game - it will help you recognize the most recent trends and algorithm tweaks by writing text that is able to be viral.
I agree Roland. I've started to use AI a little bit as more of a co-creator with little things I'm writing, and it's very impressive even now. Can't wait to see how things get better in just 6-12 months.
What about a fourth option that is the opposite of option 2. Where you enter into a conversation with the AI about the kinds of content you could create and together you embark on a symbiotic path on which you as the creator take the final steps and make the content your own by adding your own unique flavour?
I LOVE that idea Jon. Now you're really thinking. I heard from someone yesterday that there is a writing coach who teaches people how to draft an article by having a conversation with AI. Just insane stuff.

Thanks so much Bruce. Yeah, it's all good if someone wants to remain a purist. I get that. I respect it as well. :)

Check out some of the notes by @andyobryan, he's been making me rethink the whole conversational process and going so much deeper with my prompts.
