![]() ![]() Rather than sweat and toil for a week to research the issue and organise the information, because I asked ChatGPT for help, I immediately had a workable, if predictable, outline. I asked ChatGPT4 to write an outline on the subject of AI/human writing collaborations. At first, I only slightly adapted my approach. AI personhood isn’t off the table in the future, and, for reasons that will become clear in a bit, I do want to futureproof this essay. How might I write something relevant that AI simply couldn’t, even if they wanted to, which they wouldn’t because they don’t want anything? You might well ask about that pronoun “they” – ChatGPT uses the first-person pronoun “I,” so, given the collective input creating ChatGPT, I am going with a plural “they” rather than “it”. So, my sense of existential necessity pushed me to go another way. And that is why Business Insider reports Media Provider, which includes Content Writer, drops in as one of ten jobs at risk from automation. No employer is going to pay us to do what a machine can do faster and so much cheaper. For one thing, what employer will pay us to work a week on what a machine can do in 3 minutes? I obviously couldn’t turn in the essay written by ChatGPT. I quickly circled back to the matter at hand, work. I too have ethics, as well as feelings and motivations like fear of poverty, and a lust for new books. This particular collaborative sesh was unarmed and during working hours. It certainly would complicate collaboration if your collaborator had a gun held to your head. It goes like this: Can you imagine a future when AI is programmed to destroy anything that undermines the “human good,” and, since AI is designed to support the human good, if you go against AI, it’s lights out for you? That’s the Roko Basilisk question. The Roko’s Basilisk question is a thought experiment that has terrified the Internet. ![]() We learned that ChatGPT doesn’t believe it will replace human writers, accepts any pronouns, has no feelings for anyone or anything–including my somewhat fetching mobile phone–and won’t answer the Roko’s Basilisk question for ethical reasons. We were going to take this leap together, and I must confess, we soon tumbled down a rabbit-hole. ![]() I could feel her weight against my shoulder, smell the Sudacreme in her ears that she glops on for eczema. My teen daughter was tucked in beside me on the sofa. In my interaction with ChatGPT, I found the tool does produce generic, logical, clear writing on any reasonable topic pretty much instantaneously, providing a foundation from which a writer can engage in productive reverie and experiment. Really? Good poetry? Like Seamus Heaney good? Believe me Elon, when I tell you, that’s a nope. “It can even write poetry, good poetry,” says Elon. I suppose that clarity-and-speed one-two punch is why Elon Musk has declared AI can now write better than most people and faster than all of us. The result of a ChatGPT article request is the sort of clean, well-lit prose that I only dreamt about reading when I taught essay writing for first year university students. Boom – a cogent article spilled out pretty much immediately, including the introduction above. Then, I had the idea of actually doing it, rather than only writing about it, so I went to and asked for an article about human/AI writing collaboration. For this article, I had pitched writing about collaborating with AI, and the editors gave the thumbs up. Getting to Know Chat GPTĬhatGPT-4, the latest version of an AI chatbot that can process and respond with human-like texts, was released by Open AI earlier this year. That’s where human writers come in-they can provide the emotional and creative input that AI lacks, resulting in a truly collaborative and innovative piece of content. While AI technology has made significant strides in generating text that is grammatically correct and coherent, it is still lacking in the emotional and creative elements that make writing truly engaging. Originally published in the Summer 2023 edition of the Communicator.Īrtificial intelligence (AI) and human writing collaboration is a growing trend in the field of content creation.
