#wordsmith — Public Fediverse posts

Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #wordsmith, aggregated by home.social.

  1. I've grown to appreciate the growing use of #ChatGPT and other #LLMs to #assist #writers who might not be #proficient #English #speakers and writers, or where English might not be their 1st, 2nd, or hell even 3rd language and now view these types of "reports" and "issues" a little differently.

    There is no evidence below that
    #AI "#wrote" the article completely on its own without any human involvement and intervention.

    It is perfectly understandable for a
    #Pakistani #journalist to feed their #draft copy into ChatGPT and ask ChatGPT to polish it up and make it appropriate for publishing.

    Which is no different than if the journalist went to a colleague and asked them to
    #wordsmith it for him.

    The only error here is forgetting to "
    #edit" ChatGPT's own "#edits" and getting called out for it.

    Then there's the whole "copyright" issue. AI generated works can not be copyrighted.

    Power always thinks it has a great soul and vast views beyond the comprehension of the weak; and that it is doing God's service when it is violating all his laws. -John Adams, 2nd US president (30 Oct 1735-1826)

    Thank you for your conspiratorial analysis of what Harris was REALLY thinking. And I'm not the one thanking you: Trump is.

    Remember: Only a vote for Harris stops Trump.

  24. I've been thinking about #kamalaharris 's speech at the DNC (1st night) for a few days. OK, the part about #Gaza, specifically.

    I decided to annotate my thoughts with terrible graphic design.

    Note: the part on Gaza/Israel was about 200 words, just over 5% of the speech. It was placed 4/5 of the way through the speech.

    I believe Harris emphatically promised to never stop selling weapons to Israel, but maybe that's just my interpretation.

    I think this speech was carefully crafted to walk a fine line: expressing sympathy for Palestine while never implicating Israel in Gaza's destruction and reinforcing Kamala's commitment to #AIPAC.
