Just now I asked ChatGPT to write me 50 facts about blogging.
Here’s a couple it wrote me:

No, that’s not a typo👆. It literally just stopped writing mid-fact.
Guys, it’s time to face the music here…
ChatGPT writes worse than a $1 per article content mill.
There is literally nothing here that hasn’t been written before in vastly more entertaining fashion.
I shared a link to an article I wrote yesterday and asked ChatGPT to write me a post about sea turtles in the same voice as me.
It was the worst thing I read in 5 years.
It was generic. It didn’t sound like me at all. It spouted off a bunch of stuff I already knew about sea turtles and conservation.
It was just, quite frankly, garbage.
But is there any way to ACTUALLY use ChatGPT to write articles?
Actually, I Think There Might Be
I asked ChatGPT to write me a couple first-person narratives about traveling to certain sights around the globe.
On the whole they were still hot garbage, but there were moments where I actually enjoyed what I was reading.
Key word here is moments.
I think AI-generated writing could actually turn out pretty decent in the hands of an already decent writer.
Let me be clear: You’d NEVER be able to type in a single prompt to ChatGPT and have it spout out a ready-for-publishing article for you.
But with tweaking, editing, deleting, adding, and the right follow up prompts, you might just be able to piece together something halfway readable.
That’s the thing though — it will require a good bit of work and an eye for what makes a good article. If you guide ChatGPT in the right direction, it might just surprise you.
But that’s the thing..
So few people will know just how to guide it.
What do you think?

I experimented with it and asked it to write about three true crime cases I knew well. What it wrote was garbage and actually completely inaccurate. It mixed up cases and what it didn’t know it made up. I think my writing career is save for a while lol.
