I had to write a job description recently and used AI for the first to time to do it. It was pretty dam* good. I just had to tweak it a bit.  I was a bit shocked.

I saw a video of a fake podcast created by Google Gemini for a technical manual.  It was shockingly amazing.[/quote]

I think many, if not most, people find it to be good because they can't write to save their arse so anything that's comprehensible is going to be good.[/quote]
But, it was really good for a job description.  It's not the Harvard Review.[/quote]

Well if one can barely string two sentences together, I'm sure its great. [/quote]
It was actually half a page with bullets. It was pretty good - clear and concise. If an English major wrote it would've been verbose and flowery. That doesn't fly in my industry.

My kid was in an IB magnet, and I think it was a great program for them, made them stronger writers. But, do you know what all the kids called IB?  "I Bulls*!t".   [/quote]

I'm not an English major but I know enough that English majors are taught precisely not to be flowery and verbose![/quote]

Only those focusing on creative writing.[/quote]
