In my professional life (as an engineer), most people struggle to write clearly and poorly emphasize the points they intend to emphasize, and also do not seem to be getting better over time. So you are absolutely correct, but also the vast majority of people will benefit from LLM writing assistance
if you can't write the ideas yourself, how can you be sure that the LLM is communicating the right thing? maybe because it's out of my field but i'm trying to figure out how you could give an LLM the necessary details of the message but not just write the message itself?
I would just say, there is “writing” and “im a professional writer,” where you a creating ideas and content. Then there is the vast majority of writing tasks where it is simply “I need someone to understand what I did and I’m writing it down”.
yeah i get that distinction and again it's not my field so i'm probably missing something but if you want other people to understand what you did, but cannot write out what you did yourself, i guess i don't see what you're telling the llm that's going to make it more clear?
You basically write whatever you would normally write (badly) and copy/paste it to ChatGPT and it will greatly improve it, instantly
improve it in communicating the idea? or just using better grammar? genuinely curious.
Make it more clear to a reader what you are trying to say and what the reader needs to hear to understand it
Grammar is not really the issue. It’s just people are bad at succinctly, clearly making the point they are trying to make
