This approach from Wix to let AI write blog posts is all wrong. You know what works, though? Write your own blog post, then paste it into AI and ask it to tell you what your own post means. Then edit it yourself as needed. Really helps refine whether you’re communicating clearly enough.
jabel I like that as a sane use case for AI. Handing off some editing duties (which are always better handled by someone other than the writer) rather than surrendering the creative work of writing.
Jon Udell @manton Yes, it's a good strategy. Feedback from an accomplished human editor would be ideal but that's a rare commodity. Feedback from an LLM can be 95% worthless but still provide a 5% nugget of value.
Jason Becker @jabel in my experience, editing is something LLMs excel at. Grammarly was always ok at the basics, but hit some limits that made it not worth enough to me. But I find that an LLM, if you prompt it well and especially if you provide a paragraph or sentence at a time, can be great.
Pratik @jsonbecker I like LLMs for rewriting or clarifying something but I still like Grammarly for grammar and brevity checks. I don’t turn on Grammarly until I’m done writing the draft though coz it can be distracting
Mitch Wagner I frequently use AI to solve the blank page problem, but only for a sentence or a paragraph or two at a time. And then I extensively rewrite what AI generated.
Devon Greene The phrase "organic traffic" is just, wow! But I guess blogs optimized to appeal to the algorithms makes a certain amount of (nausea-inducing) sense. Maybe. I really like iA's approach to AI, such as this recent post - much more reasonable.
