I hate using it to write. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] LastYearsIrritant@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 child) It tracks the edits. If you generate a whole doc in one shot then it's obviously AI. If you have a shitty draft, then a slightly less shitty draft, then... ... ... Then a quality end product, you can see how the human worked. AI can't really replicate that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago (2 children) I only ever wrote first drafts when they were forced upon me in school. There might be some edits, but my first draft is largely what I would submit because I hated to write as a kid and didn't want to write the same thing 3-5 times by hand before submitting it. A small benefit from being around before computers were so common was learning how to write a paragraph ahead in my mind, it would help me catch anything I was about to forget to include, or to remove a trailing thought before I wrote it out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago I hated writing by hand, too. I had to write more starting in junior high (middle school). This was back in the late 70s. We had an old, non-electric typewriter at home, so, I took typing in seventh grade. For final edit, I'd cut the sheets up and use white out, and then take the taped up mess to a store with a copy machine. That's how I got through high school English classes, too. Later, when I got into graphic design as a profession, I learned this was common practice, and called "paste up". permalink fedilink source parent [–] bitfucker@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) That's not how story writing works. Or any long form written art works for that matter. Try to ask any writer if they ever "write in their head" and publish those as a book as-is permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] ITGuyLevi@programming.dev 3 points 1 month ago The biggest thing I "wrote in my head" was my capstone for my Bachelor's, I managed a 93 and that is more than high enough for me. I'm not an author though so I doubt I could do a book. permalink fedilink source parent
