Chat GPT

This is a conversation. Open disclosure, both stories here were composed by ChatGPT. This was a test. Both stories were composed, less than a minute apart using the exact same question, “I need a story about the RMS Titanic.” The point being decent writing, zero research, and semi-unique stories written by a program within minutes…

Now What Do I Do?

WOW did I make a mistake on a recent project. I was working for a client that publishes textbooks, posters, training materials, and other items. The professional they hired to produce this material had no experience in publishing. She had access to the entire suite of Adobe products but preffered to use Word and Powerpoint,…

Why writers can be challenged in technical environments?

I work for a software development company and the teams with which I am associated are some of the most talented folks with whom I have ever worked.
