I recently had ChatGPT write something for me, but I didn’t like how the result didn’t capture my writing voice, so I just wrote it myself. I think Chat is good for summarizing and finding solutions to simple things, but it’s pretty much useless beyond a certain skill-level required for a task. I would really like to see a study where they take someone who doesn’t have an MBA and pair them with Chat for making a report vs. an MBA from Harvard etc. Same for consulting work at Bain etc.
I also just feel like I'm not writing words for the fun of it. They're chosen to convey information in a very intentional way to a given target group. Like, just now in that previous sentence, I changed "in a certain way" to "in a very intentional way", because that's more precisely what I wanted to say. I try to convey lots of nuances in relatively few words.
That's my #1 criticism of LLMs, that they just blather on and on. And ultimately, precise nuance requires understanding the topic, the context and the target group, which, if you'd describe it to an LLM, would take longer than to write the actual text itself.
Maybe next time feed it a bunch of your writings and ask it to mimick your writing style.
I’ll try that!
Usually when I use it for coding I give it what I'm working with and ask it to fill in some gaps
