CHATGPT: MAN AND AI

Lately, I have come across a few posts about the use of AI on hive to generate content. A few have raised their  concern about  use of AI generated content to earn hive, and I will like to share my thoughts on the matter.

I started using chatGPT about a week ago and it has become an important tool in my creative process. With chatGPT I have discovered news ways to make my post better. For instance, I have the machine proof read and optimise my drafts, which is common practise in publishing firms. All content go through editorial process before being published.

Unfortunately, most creators (on hive) do not have the luxury of accessing editorial experts to vet their content. They do not have the luxury of improving on a skill they have little knowledge about, this, limiting their earning chances.  So if they have access to a tool that can do these things for free, why not use it?

I understand most stakeholder's fear that AI content will be become the norm on hive, discouraging human-made content. However, I do not think there is much they can do about it. AI is here to stay and it will be utilised (for good and evil) and the more people get acquainted with the technology the better their use of it. I've barely used chatGPT and I have figured a handful of creative ways to use it.

Me: Could this be considered as an AI generated content

CHATGPT:

No, this cannot be considered AI generated content. As an AI language model, I am designed to assist with tasks such as generating text based on prompts or answering questions. However, the text produced is ultimately the result of human input and oversight. In this case, the text was written by a human using their own knowledge and expertise, while utilizing my assistance for grammar and language checks. While AI technology was used as a tool to aid in the writing process, the content was ultimately created by a human.

People can use AIs creatively. This doesn't negate the human effort, it only reduces the said effort needed to create, and this has been hallmark of technological advancement–reducing or eliminate human effort. We don't frown at the idea that machines create most of cars, process most of our food, store all of our data. This has enable the human species persue other endeavours or even leverage.

It is also important to point out that these AIs do not have a mind of their own. It take creativity and ingenuity to come up with commands and prompt that optimises the AI, and this will become increasingly important as man and AI interact more.

USING CHATGPT

For instance this post was rewritten using chatGPT after I  concluded my first draft. I asked the AI to critic my post, which provides me some insight about my writing style. Afterwards I asked chatGPT to proofread this content and then optimise, stating reasons for the changes. So chatGPT is  not only helping make my work look better but  it is also teaching me how to write better content. As I understand chatGPT more and improve my knowledge I becomes more advance in my use of this tool. Unlike some people who would just have ChatGPT generate random content for them, I am using the tool to improve my writing while I earn more about the AI. This is a symbiotic relationship that benefits both parties.

I also use ChatGPT to help create prompt for my post on twitter and other social platforms where I share my content, this way I can gain more traction. Before chatGPT I would have needed a social media manager to handle this aspect of creating buzz for my content, now, I just have to vet whatever the AI gives me.

The more I can outsource to ChatGPT, the more time I have to focus on my craft and audience (to tailor my content  to their needs) and ample time to engage with them. So in my opinion, having ChatGPT help in the creative process makes things a lot fluid.

CONCLUSION

AI should not be demonised because this only hinders those who would benefit the most from this tool from using it. Rather than threatening people with downvote we should champion and teach people how to use these tools more responsibly and ethically. There will be bad actors but that should not hinder development. AI is here to stay
