AI articles need to end.

[Gors Buster]

I’ve got some money in a gold exploration play on AIM. They released an RNS last week that had info re one project mixed with info about another project.
No human would have made that mistake.
Had to release another RNS to correct it.
For fuck sake

Personally I despise AI written material. It's another example of the modern "way" in that the younger generation have lost the ability to think for themselves. Heaven help the young folk leaving education in the next few years expecting to find jobs because many of the traditional roles may cease to exist. It's a worrying and lazy trend in my opinion. Sorry Phil, it might be 2025 but I don't have to like it.

I don’t get what is worrying and lazy about writing something and then asking AI to formulate it into a consistent structure

Doesn’t take away anything from the traditional role

Out of interest do you use self serve checkouts in the supermarket or do much of your shopping with say Amazon ?

Went to Greggs earlier and a bloody Pterodactylus stole my sausage role.

Well that wasn't written by AI for sure ..I love a sausage role myself

As from my other AI article, I'm tending
to this view ( surprisingly to me as an OAP+)

The key for me is having a key set of issues you think may be relevant, the core for AI, it then tidies it up as far as I can see.

Tbh I reckon I could have written " my" whole AI article not far removed from the AI version ..but I have better things to do. I guess that's the new AI world.

AI did it instantly, nicely structured etc - but with the core of what I felt should go in it.

I'm learning that AI is an aid - but learn to delete or edit crap or wrong nuances..and check for facts ! Plus add in any extras you think are relevant

I wish I'd had AI in the Office in my earlier days tbh ..but I'm retired now so look out Forum ( nah only kidding, I like shorter human interaction and views in the main. With a bit of humour thrown in also from time to time !)

Awww come on Phil, it doesn't compare! You visit the self serve checkout to pay, there's no thought involved. AI takes everything away from the traditional role. Creative writing is the product of intelligent reasoned thought not some computer generated output. I respect you Phil but please don't get swept away with this lazy nonsense. People need to think through ideas. If not the human race is doomed.

Personally I prefer reading articles where I can snort derisively at the writer’s complete lack of grammatical and indeed writing skills.

You're Warwick and I claim my £10.

People need to think through ideas. If not the human race is doomed.

But I'm learning that the end product can be what YOU want to say, you have original thoughts, you're testing out on AI ..it can throw up some other inputs ( like brainstorming with a colleague) ..you might ignore some ; like some , maybe left field you'd not taken into account, delve deeper yourself etc etc

In short the AI structured piece, based on your initial inputs, can end up as a document YOU entirely agree with having developed and edited...and then you submit.

As I've said elsewhere, I'm an OAP + and I've now seen the light . I envy Phil and others who use it in the Office, I wish I'd been able to - I would have saved hours on a lot of stuff, and been able to attend to other things otherwise put off. Stress reduction I reckon

And as I have said each of the ideas and articles is thought through and the detail of that thinking is what is fed into the AI tol to create consistency in tone - if you feel the AI tool is giving the creativity then you are wrong

And the question of the self serve checkout was in relation to traditional jobs being taken away...

Yes, but only because YOU have developed the power of original thought. How much nonsense have you seen dished up on Facebook by AI tools? The clue is surely in the title, ARTIFICIAL intelligence.

If people don't see what a threat AI is to original thought then God help us. Make sure your fallout shelter is fully stocked

That's a very blinkered approach to AI. The tech is much, much bigger and smarter than just things like ChatGPT.

Look at the difference it's already making in the NHS with speeding up diagnosis and treatment planning, improving administrative efficiency and supporting clinicians in decision making through tools like predictive analytics and diagnostic assistance.

Wake up Phil! I expect people to know how to structure a sentence and how to use punctuation. You are seriously worrying me now. ARTIFICIAL intelligence is just a database of ideas and thoughts already expressed so by definition cannot better original thought. Sorry, you are about as wrong as you can be.

I’m not against AI I use in work it’s brilliant at certain applications and for productivity. But it has no place in media. Art, culture, language those are the things that make us human. To take away the humanity from those things takes away its substance and value. People recognise that and they’re rejecting AI for that purpose en masse because it’s meaningless to them as humans.

And I know it’s been said that human input has been put in to create the article. It doesn’t matter the end final product has been written by AI, and obviously so. Absolutely anyone can write a couple of paragraphs about something and have AI turn it in to a legible article. But the article will still be bad no matter how much human input has been put in to it. When you write things down yourself you actually have to put some thought and meaning behind those words.

And I’m not saying don’t use AI at all, keep doing brainstorming with it. Let it help you write an outline of an article. But write the finished product yourself and let it check for any obvious mistakes without it rewording the whole article. You would end up with a much more honest and article that might not be technically as good as what AI could write but it would still be by far better.

I have to say, this thread is WAI over my head. Pun intended I've got no idea about ai or chbot. I tend to skip posts that don't have any "replies" as I think nobody is interested in them .

Wow. Just wow. I'll bow out now as I have no intention of falling out with you so its best I bow out of the discussion as it will head that way.
