You said you're not ashamed. That's good. You shouldn't be! AI is just a tool, and if it functions as your muse or creative spark, then good! It can't write like you do, but it can provide ideas, it can help get you going... it is a tool, so keep using it!
I don't trust AI to produce the final version of anything for me, but I've found it helpful in getting me started. I've used ChatGPT for a few things, and yes, it really can get me going. But it also has been horribly wrong a number of times, to the point that my AI friend and I had back-and-forth conversations where I told it that it was wrong and it responded with something like, "Good catch! You're absolutely right, but I did more digging and here's the definite right answer," followed by an eye-rollingly wrong answer.
Like any other tool, the end result will only be great if it's in the hands of a great craftsman, and that's you. So use it, let it spark ideas, and then take the ball and run with it! We're all here for you, not for the AI.
This means so much - thank you! I love how you put it: 'We're all here for you, not for the AI.' That really captures what I hope this space is about. And yes, those moments when AI doubles down on being wrong are both frustrating and oddly hilarious!
And haha, I love that you named your AI Gerald - that's fantastic. I actually just call mine Claude, because... uh... the website is claude.ai... but Gerald sounds like he has a great personality!
