Did I use AI to write my book? Ehm…
READ TIME: 2 minutes
Hi Reader,
AI is booming.
Every time I open my LinkedIn, I see at least one person who shares "their free prompt sheet" for ChatGPT.
Comment "prompt" below—yeah nah, not my cup of tea.
The images from the AI tool DALL-E become easily recognisable; they have a specific style.
I can name more of these examples, but the real deal is that while more AI tools become available, the question arises: should you use them?
There are many opinions about it.
Do I use AI?
Yes.
I mainly use ChatGPT. I don't copy/paste content from ChatGPT. Instead, it functions as inspiration or a catalyst for when I'm stuck.
Lately, I asked it: Can you give me 4 ways to draw up a persona?
Massively helpful!
I used it for the subtitle of the book I have ghostwritten.
"Give me 10 subtitles based on the summary of this book." [copy/paste summary of book]
After playing around a bit, I created the perfect subtitle.
For that same book, I used AI-based transcription tools to transcribe my recordings.
I'm also pretty sure the cover designer of my novel A Tragedy in Toronto used AI for the cover design.
As you can tell, I'm not against using AI. It's a new technology that we are exploring as human beings. Are there scary sides to it?
For sure.
But that doesn't mean it's bad.
James Kelly, the founder of FaithTech can speak to this from a deep understanding. He was my guest on the Born to Fly podcast, and we talked about technology in the Bible and how we can approach technological changes and developments.
In summary, he said that technology in itself isn't a terrible thing. Technology is actually something that comes forth from our creative nature, resembling God's nature. But what we do with technology, makes all the difference.
Social media doesn't have to be bad, it can be great to stay in touch with people you don't see often or who live overseas. But if you spend 5 hours a day on it and neglect your close friends and family, it means it has taken a toll.
The same is true for television.
And for your dishwasher—I mean, that was a nifty new piece of technology a couple of years ago. Instead of spending time doing the dishes (and talking with the person who helped you), you could use that time differently.
How has technology served us?
That's how I approach technological developments. We'll see what AI will bring, we don't know yet what it will establish.
Besides that, I need to know what it is about. I need to know how to raise my kids in a way they can handle it correctly.
How do you approach this, Reader?
Let me know!
Blessings,
Jane
