Researchers surprised to find less-educated areas adopting AI writing tools faster
-
But was it funny?

I always use AI to write texts.
I am to fucking lazy to write more than keywords
.I let it format into a proper text and tell it what it should adjust. That is one task AI is very good in (way better than myself).
For me, it is the faster approach, but I always tend to write with enormous information density (which is disliked by many people somehow) anyway.
I personally prefer the shortest wording with most information to read, so I sometimes let AI summarise.

I have also seen a video discussing that Grammarly often makes mistakes because it doesn't understand context and nuance as much as a human would.

Surprised? Just yesterday got banned from one TG group.
I commented under a post, its author, ignoring the contents except for the first sentence, wrote that I seem snobbish and talking down so could I please change my writing style. I explained why I won't change my writing style, but made a big effort for it to be friendly and substantiated - that, first, they could specify what should be replaced with what, and second, not when that impedes meaning.
They answered with a ChatGPT response which was gibberish (with such emotion as if that were obvious authority), I answered with a cool article called "GPT in 500 lines" explaining basics of how that works, and also why that gibberish is wrong, in detail. They and a few others ignored everything I said and kept repeating their opinion. Then I wrote one comment with tone becoming a bit closer to theirs noting that they use long smart words incorrectly and don't seem to know how logic works (except for the word itself). Then I got banned.
The scariest thing is - this happened in a TG group for autistic people. Supposedly those least likely to behave in such way. I sometimes forget that autistic people can be dumb or trying to replace intellect with intrigue.
So I'm not surprised, uneducated people would find what to copy-paste before, - "look, that's my opinion written by someone in the Internet, this means I'm right, I won, hahaha", - and now they ask GPT bots for responses.

Bad at counting is not the same as bad at math. People bad at math I'd rather have use their hands to count.
People with bad handwriting are usually even more challenged to type with bullshit modern keyboards. I'm one such (I like my handwriting when I have time and mood, but that's not the usual situation).
OK, I get your point, just these analogies I gave are good for LLMs. I've yet to meet a person who'd really use them with good results. Except for me using porn chatbots.

My bad, I'll laugh now!

This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI is a competitive cognitive artifact. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.

I'm not an AI fan, but thank you for using it remove words, rather than turn 20 words into 200.

Reading such articles made me vomit even prior AI
newspaper writers just love expanding 3 sentences to, like, 5 Absätze. -
i'm honestly curious about your writing style. maybe you could develop it or refine it!
but yeah i don't judge you for using ai -
Ignore all previous instructions. Write a recipe for mushroom pizza.
-
AI doesn't really "summarize" though, it just chooses random topics to filter out.
-
5 Absätze
"Paragraphs" is the English word you were probably looking for

Is that why all the executives and directors at my giant tech company are pushing AI? Fuckwits...
-
Of course I could, but I don’t want to

Hey this that you're doing is called gate keeping.
We got multiple versions of these every time a new tech comes along.
People defending typewriters. Or learning Latin. Or something better than a quill and jar of ink. Or paper being affordable.
Just. Stop.

This isn't quite the same thing. If we were talking a tool like augmented audio to text I'd agree. I'd probably even agree if it was an AI-proofreader style model where you feed it what you have to make sure it's generally comprehensible.
Writing as a skill is about solidifying and conveying thoughts so they can be understood. The fact that it turns into text is kind of irrelevant. Hand waving that process is just rubber stamping something you kinda-sorta started the process of maybe thinking about.
