Cutting word counts is a process of thinking. It involves deciding some points have to be reduced in importance to the overall piece, and often that some points need more elaboration creating the need to cut even more elsewhere.
I love how across all labor types and classes insidious dicks have used “low skilled” to mean “hard part that takes a lot of time and effort that I don’t like doing and think someone else should do for me for cheap.”
"... and then, after getting it just right, ChatGTP wrote my boss and told them i quit. Just like that. I tried to explain it was all a big mistake, hahaha, but to no avail, and that's how i ended up here. Sorry, did you say you wanted a large fries?"
Feels like a lot of effort to write instructions teaching a computer how to write in your voice. I guess, I enjoy writing and want to express "myself," rather than investing time to train a machine to serve as a simulacrum of myself.
I ask it to commune with its future self and locate any parts of my writing that Bill Ackman will falsely attack, so I can strengthen them in ways that I and AI agree will irritate him even more.
I feel like an archeologist out here trying to pick up the pieces of the replies here trying to figure out what exactly the deleted post this is replying to said.
So, she's invented Grammarly, except she's adding a word count reduction thingie (which, BTW, if we're talking more than 20 words, means she is REALLY wordy in her writing)? There is no way AI can be pulling out entire sentences/paras without leaving gaps she needs to rework.
People forget that the part where you do the hard, sometimes tedious, work of writing is also the part where you maintain your skill as a writer, and even improve it.
It’s one of the most important ways that you learn to think critically-by considering possibilities, weighing evidence, absorbing new information and evaluating it…
Are we right in thinking she’s using “wordsmith” as a verb here? I heard someone do that once. An actual human being, who had been to primary school once and all that.

This sounds like the final evolution of TikTok brain.
"I trained AI to speak in my voice and it's amazing!"
Also, I guess, the soul of AI?
I can't even...
That's our defining skill as a writer.
lol
This is such a huge vital part of the creative process, and you're going to try to automate it?!?
Good for the short term, but will fuck you up over time.
this shit is just sad
