I lasted less than 24 hours, (tried to take a Substack break)! Working on that first step!

Don't be angry w me, I ran your post through the free version of ChatGPT, mostly as a learning experience. You get high marks overall! “He is intelligent, sincere, and incomplete by design” -from my ChatGPT (I am well aware of your disdain for writing using AI, I’m bored over here in the village).

I’ve never tried that! I always find areas to edit after I hit “send” even though I use Grammarly to catch the egregious stuff and misspellings.

I’ve been told Claude might be something I might appreciate for editing. Not for changes, but just stupid stuff like stupid repeated stupid words in the same stupid sentence, and that kind of thing. Just stuff I miss.

Plus, Claude owes me about $6000 or so for downloading my non-fiction computer books (very old!) and training itself on them. That’s almost as much as I made on them in the first place! Traditionally published by IDG, Wiley, etc., but not many people buy those kinds of books. Claude didn’t, either, which is why they now owe me through the court settlement. Haha! :-) #makeAIpay
