Yesterday, my blogger brother Rainer posted a Collaborative Exploration and asked me to continue the discussion. The subject he chose was using AI in blogging.
Frankly, before this past summer, I’d heard about people using assistive technologies–to help them with various tasks–but didn’t really know what it entailed.
But then I went to a conference for educational administrators and learned this:
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the term for a group of technologies that enable computers to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence.
Shawn Beard, Assistant Superintendent
Me: “Okay, but how does it work?”
Shawn responded that I already used AI–a lot more than I realized.
- Google, Alexa & Siri
- Face recognition
- Grammarly
- Google Maps
- Netflix, Hulu, etc….
All these convenient technologies use artificial intelligence to operate.
Here’s one way I use AI as a blogger:
- Creating the perfect picture to illustrate a post. Below is an example.
WP’s new AI Assistant will also give you feedback on content and structure and help your optimize your title for Search Engine Optimization (SEO), if you so desire.
I gave it a try, for this post, but didn’t care for the suggestions. I’m comfortable with the way I write and prefer my wordy title. So, butt out Word Press! Please and thank you.
Here’s another way, but proceed with care:
One can engage with AI to answer questions and even create content. Two popular applications are ChatGPT and Google Gemini.
Yesterday afternoon, I asked each of these programs to write a blog post about the sovereignty of God. Both replied within seconds–and it was decent content. ChatGPT even included several scripture references!
The “proceed with care” part, is one shouldn’t copy and paste AI generated writing and pass it off as their own. That would be disingenuous and unethical.
However, if you use artificial intelligence to improve your research and spark creativity–without quoting it word-for-word–it can be helpful.
So, kind reader, there it is. Thank you, Devotional Guy, for including me in this collaboration!
🙏❤️ prayers and love.
