A free live workshop on how to use Claude or ChatGPT as a sounding board, thinking partner and personal trainer for writing — taught by OpenAI’s former Head of Writing Community.
This is upsetting. Why are you promoting something which relies on the theft of authors' work, which atrophies users' ability to think, and which is environmentally destructive?
Shantell, I share a lot of these concerns, and I think you might be surprised by how much we agree on. In my opinion, the default ways most people are using AI are pretty grim.
As we all know, when you ask AI to generate content for you, what it spits out is generic, soulless slop. The approach I teach is the opposite of using AI to generate prose. I don't let my students use AI to generate content or prose at all.
Instead, we learn to use AI as a sounding board to talk through ideas, ask clarifying questions, and figure out what we actually want to say. You do all the writing yourself. You never let AI produce a single sentence that goes into your work.
I just wanted to chime in to clarify this, since it's core to my belief and work as a writer myself.
really disappointed to see you promoting use of this inherently exploitative technology
really sad and disappointed to see this from you guys. I've been a fan of Narratively for years but I'm reconsidering that now.
Of course he'll do it for free!
Gross. This is not what I followed you for.
ChatGPT is a horrible company. You should be ashamed of perpetuating the problem.

I guess I'm the only person here who isn't surprised to see this filth on something as exploitative as NA.

To top it all off, reputable publishers will not publish anything which uses AI in its conception.
