I spoke with a lady Sunday who knows a lot about ChatGPT. I'm fascinated with this new technology and have used it for composition twice and for a query once.
She advised against using it to write anything because Google and other search engines have already become adept at spotting material that has been generated by AI and will downgrade the blog with its wily algorithm.
Besides there are some serious lawsuits filed by major players who have the money to affect the usage by ordinary word toilers.
My source enthusiastically endorsed using ChatGPT in other ways, including solving problems or locating information.
Here was my query: "Can you devise a marketing plan for a historical novel that will be published by a University Press in July?"
Before I could draw another breath--there it was. And it was perfect! With all the right steps. You bet, I'm going to use it to promote my upcoming historical novel, Mary's Place.
While all the discussion about AI rages, I'm comforted by a line from Rudyard Kipling's poem, "The Mary Gloster.":
"They copied all they could copy, but they could not copy my mind. So I left them sweating and stealing a full half mile behind."
Interesting. Thanks.
