I think it is important that everyone realize that, within months, how people relate to writing is going to change, for better & for worse. I have been playing with Google Docs with built-in AI & it is clear that most people will start much of their writing work... with an AI draftshow more

After more experiments, some thoughts on what the “write it for me” Button might mean.

Going to change the signal to noise ratio of the world dramatically If I can generate a decent essay without putting any real effort into it, we’re going to be swimming in a sea of generated garbage Counter point - great thinkers can become 100x more prolific writers

Already do this for stuff I don’t want to write. But it never quite says what I need it to. Still, 80/20 rule. Much faster to do the final 20% editing than start from scratch. Have used it for outlines too.

First, the spam mails will be improved.

Tried integrating AI into my writing, only works well for outlines and brainstorming but dislike it for the actual writing since it feels so inauthentic and feel like my voice won't be present in the content

How did you get access to GPT-4 in Google docs? I've tried all workspace services claiming to access GPT-4, but since I don't have a GPT-4 API it doesn't work. Is Bard as good as GPT-4 when it comes to copywriting/editing, structuring, organizing and categorizing?

It is Google's official version, integrated with Bard. I have the Beta, everyone will have it soon.

Writing without AI assistance will become an absurd idea.

We’ll start with using an AI draft to create the style then, manually removing the hallucinations and adding additional substance for the second draft, and the final draft will be for personalizing and minor edits.

Yes for better and worse. Writing is also the thinking process. And I am afraid it can inhibit the thinking process essential to unlock some aspects of augmentation. But we can’t go back.
