[quote=Anonymous]I use AI to write all the time, but I don't have AI do the writing. Because it will do it wrong.

But I use the AI bot embedded in Word to ask questions, get ideas, find synonyms, even think through a problem I'm having. I use it like a combination of a more convenient/efficient search engine and a coworker who will let me bounce ideas of them when I need to.

It has made me a more productive writer because when I'm working on something and hit a wall, instead of leaving my document and doing something else (including time wasters like looking at social media or playing a game on my phone, the stuff I used to do for procrastination) I just ask the AI chatbot how to push through. Like literally a fifth of my queries to the chatbot are stuff like "ugh I don't feel like finishing this section, how can I make myself do it?" And it will actually give me useful ways to do it. It's not groundbreaking stuff -- it will be like "some people find it useful to break up a piece of writing into smaller sections as a way to make it seem more manageable -- can you split the section up into sub-sections or paragraphs and just take them one by one?" Sure, that's something I should and can come up with on my own. But it's more effective when it comes from someone else!

I could never turn in work that I literally submitted AI to write. I'd feel ashamed. Also, I'm a control freak about my writing and I'd wind up going through and editing it and probably changing the whole thing. But as a tool to help me get my work done? Hell yes, I love it. [/quote]
