I'd love to hear more opinions on generative AI from people who aren't confident writers
I feel like most of the commentary I see is from people who write with confidence - almost by definition, since writing confidently is an important prerequisite for widely broadcasting your opinions on things
I have a hunch that there are lots of people out there for whom the ability to have a computer help them write is a massively valuable thing, but their stories have so far not attracted much attention in the wider AI discourse
I'd love to upgrade that hunch with actual information
@simon WaPo article leads with story about guy with Dyslexia using ChatGPT to write his messages/clean up the text.
Too early for studies and like you said, these people aren't the people you'd expect to have blogs and post their own experiences.
