There's an empty box, no obvious instructions on how to use it, shortcuts, best use lexicon, or whatever. Free multi-hour online training is now becoming available. Clearly there's a LOT to learn to make best use of 'AI' tools. The average person is using ChatGPT in a rudimentary way, the equivalent of using Excel to add two numbers together.

the blockchain--basically a permanent sign-in book, as I understand it--could have a lot of uses like authenticating edited images, creating digital IDs, or even one day offsite voting.

no doubt...anyone minimizing the effect this will have on not just writing, but the entire creative concept, is sleepwalking.

the way I see it, the truly inspired among us can leverage AI and basically give themselves extra arms...it's hard not to be overwhelmed by the pace of development, but it's an exciting time to be a creative...imagine pioneering new genres of music with new instruments!
