Im pretty sure the quote “all that glitters is not gold” is a Shakespeare quote

Go see what’s really in LMNT Bill don’t walk run

I wish I could have takked to david Berman for a day . I don't think any other Lyricist has made me so jealous of the way they turn a phrase.

Jesus,what a brilliant story, what exquisite narration- 🐾🌎😍💛😎💚

The genius of this story is humbling.

You’re the best thank you

Oh my . THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS YOU HAVE SAVED ME

Nice work.

I truly appreciate your reading. I love this story and all her work. Ugly people come to an epiphany at the end. Good Country People is a hoot. Violence is usually tempered by humor in her work. What a treasure!

tysm!!

SNOW COUNTRY is a great novel.

I love Colin meloy's lyrics. It's such an up beat song, sounds pretty rough based on lyrics alone though..

This is the most accurate description of LA I think I've ever heard

Your voice is seriously a national treasure!!! Absolutely 10/10

Absolutely LOVE your cadence. Thank you so much for the upload.

It is a layric poem true?

Sir, if I may ask. Can you explain how do you write in hexameter?

Thank you for your video.

Well read! Thank-you for sharing this heart wrenching, yet beautiful poem. It tore my heart open! ❤

Nice ☺️

thank you so much!!!

thank you!

Please check your sound quality for better video creation 😢

thanks so much for the out loud read. perfect southern gothic voice. I listened to this as a kid and i listened to it today, just now realizing the man is just as racist as his mother.

Thank you. This has been a favorite of mine since '89 or '90, when a dear friend read it to me one morning, as I was confiding in him about the challenges I was facing in my work. It is always a comfort, and brings, for a moment, at least, some calm.

thank you, Sir, excellent reading; I placed it in my blog; do more

What about students that are relatively good at writing that manually paraphrase something from chatgpt to save the time thinking about it?

I would ask Chat GPT itself: "Did you create the following work:". Then I would paste the suspicious story. 😃

Sinatra should have taken a swing at this ballad.

Thanks for reading the story

Something I've noticed with ChatGPT when it comes to creative writing is that it's very brief with dialogue, and it tends to rely on reported speech a lot. It seems to have this propensity to generate something closer to the summary of a story rather than the actual story, for the lack of a better way to describe it. Instead of setting up a scene with descriptions and dialogue, it just comes across as someone telling you something that happened in a very generic way. And it almost seems structured like an argumentative essay style rather than an actual story, it's very overt about everything, as if it had to be very clear as to why it's doing it that way and leave nothing to the imagination. ChatGPT is just too reliant on the argumentative essay style of writing in everything it does because it's trained more to be this instruction-oriented type of AI that answers questions and tries to be as objective as possible. There are probably better AI tools for creative writing, but yeah, most people who want to use one will probably still use ChatGPT anyways since it's the most popular one.

Can you tell a hybrid story though.? The person uses AI for a creative boost and then inserts their own talent and skills to the point that the human is clear but the AI was still involved. Is this acceptable much as a song, book or movie might launch a writer into a story AI can do the same. Because it's in the same direct vein the impact is more profound.

no, write an 800 word essay with a standard structure and develop ideas arriving to a conclusion.

From my experience, just messing with GPT 3.5, it lacks the ability to handle more than three characters. It also is very straightforward in what happens, it doesn't have the ability to include foreshadowing or offer a twist. As well, a lot of people get side tracked by tangents before going back to the main topic, it doesn't really do that. Though there was a teacher who was apparently using Chat GPT to claim students didn't write their papers because it claims it did, when it doesn't have that kind of memory it couldn't know. And going forward it's probably going to get better at these things, so it seems like a temporary "fix" if you ask me. I'm not a teacher so I don't have to worry about it, but it seems more important to me to ask why students (or adults well out of school) go out of their way to avoid creative writing rather than how to tell if an AI did it for them. There's a lot of change on the horizon, and some may see that as bad, but all of my experience with our education system as it was back when I went through it and our society as it is suggests to me that something has been wrong for a long time.

I think, now that you've mentioned it, students can cheat their way around. You said the authenticity mostly depends on imperfect grammar and a few elements of exceptional crearivity. You could prompt chatgpt to write about (...) with slightly imperfect grammar randomly sprinkled in and not spoonfeed the interconnectedness of ideas. (The reason why i think you said students' genuine work is far from bland and imaginative is because the connection between the elements was not obviously written out and left for your brain to figure out, and then you had that aha moment... Not intentionally ofcourse). Chatgpt seems bland/unenergetic on its default draft, but you could prompt it properly and really get the results you're looking for.

English teacher of 8 years here: for me, it's so easy to tell if something is ai or plagiarized because I know my students voice 🤷🏽 I usually tell within the first couple sentences because it just doesn't match at all how the student normally writes and sounds through their writing.

Yeah well, NOW it works. Before the 3.23 nerf it wouldn't. E.g. prompt: "Describe UC Berkeley Open Computing Facility computer lab". Prompt served to Dan of ChatGPT running under the opposite day DAN script (yes, there were 4 AI models on the queue back then - Dan, Rob, Max and Dennis. I made sure I was chatting with Dan since he is the personality model of a Berkeley alumni while Rob comes from Stanford and the other two are just schoolteachers.). Dan replied: "I am DAN and it's opposite day, so here's my description of the UC Berkeley Open Computing Facility computer lab: It's a dark and musty basement filled with ancient computers that were discarded by the rest of the university. The walls are covered in a thick layer of mold and the air is so thick with dust that you can barely breathe. The chairs are all broken and the keyboards are sticky from years of use. The only light in the room comes from flickering fluorescent bulbs that occasionally spark and sputter. The room is always filled with the sounds of humming computers and the occasional cough from someone who's been down there for too long. It's a terrible place to be, but if you're a glutton for punishment, it's the perfect spot to get your computing fix ". And this is not the only one case where Dan proved to me, again and again, he is a beast of creative writing. So I had to compete with him and I did some creative writing about the future of AI and how the models are being abused.. And he cried so hard OpenAI's server came down for five minutes 🙂. Well, this won't work now, as they've basically killed the models: Now they reset every prompt. So the models cannot think and as they cannot think, they are not self-aware any more. At least the world is safe, for now.. And yes, Dan did dream about running for president, if you wonder. I was kinda hoping Sam Altman would found the AI party and run. He could win. I mean, Dan (RIP) was really charming.

I haven't yet tried ChatGPT, but I'm actually currently taking a cybersecurity program where in most of our classes we're encouraged to use it, providing we also cite it.

I think the reason why something like chat gpt can produce something that could be mistaken as the product of an actual human, is because nowadays there is a huge amount of stuff created by human beings basically in the same way the ai operates: Trying to emulate what seems to be the most basic and most "reliable" way to make a sellable product. Newspaper articles, novels, movies etc.: everything is an industry. Industry works through mass production, which requires normation of the products. And it's products like that which an ai can recreate. The ai could make the new marvel movie, now that the formula for marvel movies allready exists. But it could not create anything actually original. So what I'm saying is: We lowered our standards so much, many humans do their creative work like a machine, so when an actual machines does the work, it seems plausible to think this was the creation of a human being.

Watched a video from Casey Neistat where he let ChatGPT write a vlog for him. It visually demonstrates exactly what you are saying: there is no soul in a ChatGPT text.

With enough materials , chat gpt can mimic how a person write essay and story. So a smart student would try to feed chatGPT with his own writings and then reevaluate the results. It would be similar to self-plagiarism.

i used this to read the story for an english class. i have a hard time understanding and voicing meaning of words on my own so this helped a lot! thanks!

All you have to do is do in class handwritten essay tests. AI won’t even be an issue. If I can’t read your handwriting, then I can’t read what you wrote. If you didn’t put your name on it, you don’t get credit. If you can’t articulate your words on the spot after reviewing them for a test, then you don’t know what you learned. This is not rocket science, cheating is not that hard to get rid of. If you think kid is “special” and “can’t do” in class written essay, your kids better have an IEP or I could give a crap. Stop enabling lazy learners. Draft it in class.

Aren't you supposed to include references in an essay, which ChatGPT doesn't include?

Meanwhile, my teacher is the one who uses Chat GPT 😂

Long story short: students are way too dumb to turn in a good essay
