Too Long; Didn't Read

Using ChatGPT to write content such as a blog post is like trying to replace Shakespeare with a computer program that generates words from billions of sentences based on known patterns. It's nothing more than a digital ventriloquist trying to mimic the rhythm of a professional speaker, and the audience doesn't pick up a whisper of the strings being pulled.

It's become blatantly apparent to seasoned readers and writers that AI is pulling the strings behind the scenes, and it's like trying to pass off a synthetic rose as the real deal. There's a certain artificiality, a lack of genuine human touch that leaves a discerning reader feeling, well, duped.


Let’s not beat around the bush here. Using ChatGPT to do things like write content such as a blog post is like trying to replace Shakespeare with a computer program that generates words from billions of sentences based on known patterns.


Sure, it can pull coherent sentences, though it lacks the spirit, the enthusiasm, the creativity that a human writer brings to the table.


And don't even get me started on trying to trick readers into thinking it's all man-made. With AI content publishers on the rise, this is a game of cat and mouse.


The AI ​​tries to mimic human expression, and the detector tries to reveal some cool algorithm calculated underneath. It’s a battle of wits, and honestly, it’s like cheap magic with the audience knowing exactly how the rabbit got into the hat.


Now, as we stand on the precipice of 2024, there is a tiny glimmer of hope (or fear, depending on your point of view) Could we witness the birth of an AI Shakespeare, a digital Dickens?


The color blew my mind. Call me a Luddite, but in the mess of human creativity there are imperfections and flaws that make text uniquely ours.


Let’s get into the details. Using ChatGPT in text processing and content creation feels like serving good old-fashioned wine and then revealing that it is in fact non-alcoholic beverage.


It’s not just the words on the page; it’s the soul, the idiosyncrasies, the very human nuances that gives life to a story. ChatGPT, for all its wonders and algorithmic ingenuity, cannot replicate the intricate tapestry of human commentary or creativity.


It’s nothing more than a digital ventriloquist trying to mimic the rhythm of a professional speaker, and the audience doesn’t pick up a whisper of the strings being pulled.


So, here’s to a brave new world of AI content creation. May 2024 not be the year of proving us wrong or solidifying our belief that, no matter how brilliant algorithms are, they will never have the warmth and authenticity of a human-authored story.


Cheers to the writers, dreamers’ storytellers and tech experts here on Hackernoon – those who put real life into words and provide us with the entertainment and quality content consumption we seek. Id also like to say a big thank you to David Smooke for birthing this great platform.


Have a happy and safe 2024!
