Yesterday, I "wrote" a post that was a little uncommon for me. It's here.
As a good friend of mine, here in the Rain, put it for me... it didn't have a whole lot of "Alan" in it. I posted it to see how it would be received, and to be honest I really didn't put a whole lot of effort into it, so I don't feel too bad that it only got 3 generic comments. They were nice comments, but they didn't really connect, because quite honestly the post didn't really connect.
It wasn't my usually effervescent Alan-type of
post, loaded with graphics and spice. And I think my regulars, if there are any of those out there, could tell, and didn't really have anything to say in response to that post. It didn't sound like me, and they didn't have anything to say to "that" me.
There's a good reason it didn't sound like me... because it wasn't. It was 100% written by A/I. I went to Microsoft Co-pilot (I prefer it to ChatGPT), and asked it to: "Write a post about real estate", and that's what it came up with.
It was 'okay'. Not good, not bad, just neutral, and worthy of exactly three comments. In fact I wouldn't have been surprised, or offended if it'd gotten no comments at all.
I was introduced to Co-pilot through my office, and dragged kicking and screaming into using it. I tried it one day when I was "blocked" and asked it to write the copy for a townhouse description I was having trouble with. I said "write a description of a townhouse with lots of open space on the first floor, and a patio and three balconies." It did a remarkable job.
I then said.. "add in a skylight & bonus room on the third floor". It smoothly integrated those too.
It's a brave new world, folks. I may never break a sweat again.
