AI for Writers: Friend or Foe? How to Use Artificial Intelligence Without Losing Your Writing Voice
by Ane Mulligan @AneMulligan
I was tasked with writing a fundraising letter for our nonprofit community theatre company. I'm a fiction writer. There isn't an iota of grant writer in me. I played, edited, and played around again with the plea, but the tone was wrong. My thoughts were all over the place—like following an ADD character’s train of thought. Squirrel!
Finally, I went to ChatGPT and asked it to polish it. I was gobsmacked! The site took my words, tweaked them, organized them, and made the letter sound good. Then, I passed it by another board member who added a couple of their own tweaks. We ended up with a letter that sounded us like us but better. Success.
