Yes, English is not my native language, AI helps me.
No, AI doesn't help you get better at English if you just let it do the hard work.
You get better at English, or any language for that matter, by reading/listening/writing/speaking it.
English is not my main language, I know the struggle to get better, AI is not the answer.
There are countless ways to use AI when writing a message ranging from the AI doing basically all of it to it just fixing minor mistakes. You have no clue how this person was actually using it, so perhaps give them the benefit of the doubt instead of reflexively opposing it just because an AI was involved.
There are not countless ways to use AI when writing, there are three ways.
- Use AI to quickly research spellings and grammar, but write the text yourself.
- Write the text in English and have the AI correct the grammar and spellings
- Write the text in your native language and have AI translate it all.
To me the post read as if OP used the second or possibly the third method above, meaning that she didn't fix the grammar and spelling herself, missing out on a learning opportunity.
I am not against using AI as an assistant as described in point 1 above, but the other two replaces too much of the personality of the text and takes away too much learning from OP.
She is obviously free to use whatever method she prefers, my only comment was that using method 2 or 3 doesn't really help her learning English.
Though to be fair, she may have meant that she used AI to help her communicate better in English, and doesn't care too much about a learning opportunity, that is obviously also perfectly fine, it is her choice after all.
@OP I am sorry if I came off as brash and pedantic, I am anti AI, I make no secret about it, as long as you realize that you will learn more from your mistakes than from an AI correcting them automatically, then please use whatever tool you want.
I apologize if I made you put off from using the Feddiverse with my comment.
Use a translate app. Much better.
That makes perfect sense, thanks for confirming!
The thing with ai is its here its better folks know how useful or not it is. Thats why I recommend people use it for things they are already very knowledgeable on. Whether it be a video game or some other hobby or their profession. Im not saying use its output as is but it needs to be something you know so you can see how it works. For example if a human screws something up the person who comes to help out or fix will usually say. Oh I see what you did. Because you can see how they made the mistake. Sometimes though you get the WTF! How could anyone think to do this. Usually this is from someone way out of their depth but even then sometimes it seems like something any rational person would not do. The reason for the extreme reaction is because humans have a certain understanding of the world that allows them to engage with many things. AI has no understanding. It has a process and if it goes off it has no way of seeing how crazy it might be. You can even explain what it did wrong and it will either take just agree (like someone who does not know anything about something so agrees) or dig in and repeat the same bad info. Whats worse is if it agrees you can come back and ask it the same thing and it will get it wrong again as it only agreed to agree. People need to see and experience this in a domain they know well so that if they use it with something they know less about they can take it with an appropriate level of salt.
Thanks for your advice. > There are not countless ways to use AI when writing, there are three ways.

I think you replied to the wrong person and even maybe the wrong post. you post was about some women trying to figure out plumbing with ai rather than bring a man into the womens locker. Mine was mostly a comment around what I think of ai because your post is pretty middle ground and im pretty middle ground. I feel so many are massively against or gang busters for so I tend to commiserate a bit with moderate views on AI (which for me is recognizing AI has some value but also downsides)
Thanks for your reply. Yes, that's exactly what I wanted to express.
The AI neither makes anything more efficient nor makes new things possible. It just regurgitates worthless slop.
Well that’s just false. Some of the models excel at writing code
AI code generation has single handedly increased security vulnerabilities by 52%, and Critical vulnerabilities by about 400%, and it's only getting worse as the adoption rate increases. LINK TO SOURCE
You personally will be negatively impacted in your lifetime by a security vulnerability caused by AI, it might be security footage of you in a store or it could be your name, address, phone, and government id number, and medical data from a clinic.
Yeah but not in my code
