Wow, this was so interesting and helpful. I have been using Grammarly (free version) to check my writing for any mistakes and find it very helpful.
I have tried ChatGPT, but it creeps me out - it is so polite and weird. And as you’ve said not always correct. The other day I had an insurance related question and my husband turned to ChatGPT while I googled for answers. My way turned out to be more time-consuming, but also brought the correct answer (ChatGPT’s answer was wrong).
Oh, also - congratulations on your gig in November! What a great opportunity!
Thank you Susanne for sharing! I think it’s good to be cautious and not feel pressured. Increasingly, AI content is just there, popping up and sounding reliable. In many cases, the info might be fine. But not always as you noted.
Anecdotally, I’m seeing some writers stop having Grammarly check for typos / errors to hold on to the humanness in their work. It’ll be interesting to see how the competition between AI and humans plays out. Perhaps it could make us appreciate our shared humanity even more as we strive to preserve it.
And thank you Susanne for your kind words about the AMWA conference. I wouldn’t have thought of going had it not been for another medical writer I only knew online reaching out and nudging me. It’s so much fun to see positive energy and collaborations grow out of online communities. I love seeing all the fabulous collabs you’ve had and shared in your newsletter!
