It’s like a personal assistant

Chat GPT is a hot subject right now. I’m a professional technical and content writer who has had some significant experience with it already. In my opinion, it’s a powerful tool that, if used wisely, can greatly speed up the writing process.

With the help of Chat GPT, I cranked out an entire website of reasonably high-quality content in a short time. It was extremely helpful for me in the writing and revision process because I tend to labor over details and spend an inordinate amount of time fine-tuning — especially when it comes to copywriting in shorter forms like paragraphs of marketing material or other snippets.

This is probably because I’m academically trained as a poet, and it can easily take hours just to write several lines of poetry. If this is your habit as an artist, you will overapply your attention to detail to more trivial writing and miss the big picture of moving your less artistic work forward to completion with efficiency.
