Oliver ReichensteinDealing with ChatGPT, I have an increasingly clear idea of how l need and want to write. It's as if *real writing* required *artificial writing* to become a solid notion. Or maybe it's along what Baudrillard said about Disney Land: it exists to make us believe that society is real. (Quoted from memory). ChatGPT made me think about the difference between real and simulated understanding. Still, I get an increasingly clear idea of what #writing needs to be. Never saw it in such strong light.
Shawn RoosLove the way you articulated this @reichenstein
@shawnroos Thank you. I am quite sure that the idea was born when I started to test ChatGPT. I didn't have a clear image of how human writing should be before trying artificial writing.
@reichenstein I have really enjoyed using it as a writing sparring partner - something I’ve always found to be either productive but awkward, or fun but unproductive.
@shawnroos I used it to discuss philosophical topics that most people I know do not want to discuss for three or four hours. Like if you need a body to understand. ChatGPT never gives up and it helped me sharpening my argument. It can also help me finding typos in English, which is a blindness I just can't shake.
