GUEST BLOGGER

I have been reading about ChatGPT recently on Twitter. It is an Artificial Intelligence which generates text in response to human prompts on almost any subject. 

I finally checked it out for myself after Caleb told me that he was using it to outline a paper for one of his college classes.

So I created a free account and started asking this thing questions. It responded in seconds with fully formed "thoughts" in well-organized and readable paragraphs.

Once I was convinced of its competency, I decided to ask it to do some work for me. 

(That's what all this AI and robotics stuff is for, right?) 

I typed, "Can you write a blog post about how AI can now write blog posts?"

The AI responded, "Sure, I'd be happy to write a blog post about how AI can now write blog posts."

And then it submitted this piece about ten seconds later:

In recent years, advances in natural language processing and machine learning have enabled the development of AI systems that can generate human-like text. This has opened up a range of new possibilities, including the ability for AI to write blog posts.

One of the key advantages of AI-generated blog posts is their ability to quickly produce large amounts of content on a variety of topics. This can be especially useful for businesses and organizations that need to regularly publish fresh, engaging content for their website or social media channels.

Another benefit of using AI to write blog posts is that it can help to reduce the workload of human writers. By automating the process of generating content, AI can free up time for human writers to focus on more creative or strategic tasks.

But while AI has made significant progress in its ability to generate human-like text, it is still not capable of fully replicating the creativity and nuance of a human writer. As a result, most AI-generated blog posts are likely to require some editing and refinement by a human editor before they are ready to be published.

Overall, the ability of AI to write blog posts represents an exciting development that has the potential to greatly improve the efficiency and productivity of content creation. However, it is important to remember that AI is not a replacement for human writers, and that the best results are likely to be achieved when AI and human writing skills are used in combination.

What do you think? 

Is this the dawn of a golden era? 

Or a harbinger of disaster?
