AI Writing Software I Like

[cherrystark]

I know from reading the title of this post, you are already skeptical but hear me out. I am not anti-AI. I have used the software to write my blurbs because I am not good at them. But one of my biggest complaints about ChatGPT is that the full length "stories" that it writes have no soul. They are boring and flat with no emotional impact. I was nervous to try out sudowrite.

How is it different? Instead of you entering a prompt and it generating paragraph after paragraph of nonsense for you. You copy in your own words and in the same vein as editing programs like Grammarly, you start editing. Does a paragraph need more description? It can add it. Is the paragraph more tell not show - it will fix it. The software will give you options on edits for you to pick from.

You as the writer still have to do the work of writing the story and editing it, but if you are like me and struggle with adding extra detail, or having a really important scene and worrying that it went to fast - the software can be a great accessibility tool for you.

Just something to think about: If one writes as the expression of their art, I guess I don't quite get why that person would want to bring a AI machine into it. When it's done, it's not really their art, it's a collaboration (with one or more nonhumans). I suppose it depends on what one wanted - personal art or a product.

Your mileage may vary. Not representative of the opinions of the staff or management or advertisers. The secretary will disavow all knowledge. For entertainment purposes only. Genuine placebo. Use at Your Own Risk. Not valid where prohibited.

Tried it out, and I like the description feature because it's bonkers. I asked it to describe "mad tiddies" and it was like "his tiddies were insane, they were the size of refrigerators" iconic.
When it does descriptions they also do taste and smell so the mad tiddies tasted "soft and creamy, like soup".

As for the assisted writing, I thought it was derivative and boring. I put in an old script I had lying around and the next plot point was just reciting footnotes from the synopsis. I'd recommend for a laugh but not for any serious use. Like most AI nonsense.

I don't think it should be used as a daily tool, if you needed some extra help overcoming writer's block or getting suggestions on how to expand a piece you've already written, I think it has potential.

So a photographer isn't a real artist if they use photoshop? Graphic designers and videogame designers aren't artists because they use computer software to make their jobs faster and easier? Do you never use spellcheck on your computer or use writer programs like Pro Writing Aid? Spell check is literally an AI program. Or are you against any collaboration between man and machine for making art?

I only brought up this AI software because it is so different that ChatGPT in my opinion. Sometimes when I get feedback to "add more description" or stuff like that, I can't do it on my own. This software helps me, but I still have to be the artist and make sure its suggestions fit the story.

Does it censor the content?

the only real artists out there are those guys who draw on cave walls with soot, everyone else are just fakers, smh my head

Not that I know of. It has a whole bunch of categories for you to choose from for suggestions.
