    What are you reading?

    Ahh, Tomie. One of my currently circulating short stories is based on her story.

    Things AI can do

    It's a bit short for it to really tell all that much about the story. As you noted - it didn't really do worse than your human reader. Clarity of intent, I would read that it's clear what the story is meant to be. Kinda hard for it to tell from three sentences. It tries to give you quite a lot...

    AI as a dynamic beta-reader

    No, it wasn't aimed at you. I meant that all GPTs have their own capabilities, and what works better for one person won't work as well for someone else. So if people argue that GPT A is objectively better than GPT B (which is subjective), it's a bit like arguing if Android or iPhone is better...

    AI as a dynamic beta-reader

    It can definitely do the second one. I gave it one story written in an archaic voice where it pointed out that in certain places, the voice veers close to modern, and that I might want to consider if it needed revising. It noted where I was framing one fight scene very clinically so it felt like...

    There's kinda no point in arguing which GPT is "best" anyway. Whatever works best for you. Different people will have different experiences.

    AI as a dynamic beta-reader

    That's interesting. I had the same problems with Gemini as you did. It's improved, but it doesn't remember things between chats. But when ChatGPT (from version 4 onwards) added memory, I was able to get things I told it to stick. I told it never to suggest rewrites unless I specifically asked...

    Things AI can do

    All I will say is, just try it. Give it a short piece to critique and see what it says, with an open mind. Compare it with what a human might give you. Tell it not to suggest rewritten text. Then, by all means, discard it, if you don't find what it gives useful, or you disagree - and...

    Day 288: AI Subforum

    Looking at the responses here, people seem to be attributing AI behaviour two years ago to what it can do now. It hasn't remained static in all that time. Things have noticeably changed. Yeah, it still makes some errors, like this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy7jeyeyd18o But it is...

    AI as a dynamic beta-reader

    There's a whole AI subforum now, so you can post a thread there. And that other thread - which I originally created - wasn't actually about debating AI. It was meant to be what you can use AI for, to support your writing. But that was a bit too early for the forum at the time. EDIT: Sorry...

    They can.

    Day 288: AI Subforum

    There is a qualitative difference between an AI spellcheck, and an AI grammar check. An AI spellcheck will check for the right word in context - is it there, they're, or their? A grammar check, however, will try to change the structure of your sentence to make it more conventionally acceptable...

    Unless it's changed, you do not need an account to use ChatGPT. And as for why, because AI make connections that Wikipedia will not.

    AI as a dynamic beta-reader

    You don't need to use it for plot suggestions for it to help with plot. You can use it as a research rabbit-hole which sparks ideas.

    Thank you, @Homer Potvin.

    Things AI can do

    Those ASMR AI voiced videos annoy me. I want to watch a space documentary, not something that is going to put me to sleep by repeating everything five times.
