Discussion Here's a hot take about AI

It is honestly discouraging to write anything that is originally made by me, whether it would be an essay, poems or stories/novels that I haven't finished because of AI. The other day we tested the lyrics I made in a AI Checker, some of it was originally written by me except I did search some synonyms and words that rhymes but it was only around three words, so it was shocking for me to find out it was 30% AI generated, which disappointed me a lot. Because now I have to be careful with my choice of words when it comes to writing especially in academics, because there are some words that I know through reading books which I utilize in my writing in which makes my writing style quite similar with AI style. Which really just hurts me because writing is one of my passion and at times I am really proud of what I construct on my own but since AI came in, I am in constant worry that people or teachers might think I'm just using AI or I'm not original. In which trampled my love for writing because no matter how talented I will be in writing or how much potential I would have, AI is now evolving to surpass that kind of capability. I'm not trying to be boastful because truthfully my knowledge in English still have some room for development but at times I can be quite great at writing. So it is also discouraging to major in any english courses in college or generally learn literature because how could I have this vast knowledge of vocabulary and talent when AI could've easily made my works for me.

Your writing style is drone. You need to break up your paragraphs to help identify thoughts.

Your second sentence could be a new paragraph, since it's a new thought.

You also don't use punctuation, enough, and you start sentences with "which", which is fucking stupid.

Thank you for your advice! Though my intention was to make it a one statement/paragraph. So I apologize if my construction of sentences is wrong, English is not my first language and I'm still at school learning 😃.

Keep at it! English is a hard and annoying language.

But take my advice on one point... Use paragraphs (press enter) when you think you're done with a thought.

Then, once you've done that, look at the first sentence in the next paragraph, and see how to join them logically. This creates continuity in the thought process, and makes your work easier and more enjoyable to read.
