As someone who is passionate about communications and the future of writing, I was thrilled to discover the power of AI writing tools like Rytr and Novel AI. These tools have revolutionized the way we create content by providing quick and efficient assistance. My experience using the Rytr tool for this assignment has been quite positive. I like how the system is set up and the quality of writing seems to be better than Chat-GPT. The tool's ability to analyze data, identify trends, and suggest relevant content has been invaluable in enhancing my writing process.
However, it is important to note that while AI writing tools are incredibly helpful, they still require human intervention to be successful. This is aligned with the first course reading for Module 3, “Recursively Summarizing Books with Human Feedback”. In this reading, the researchers sought to train an AI system to summarize fiction novels, but relied upon human intervention at many stages to assist the AI system with completing the full set of tasks from start to finish. In addition, the Limitations section (p. 13) the very first limitation listed is that the model’s book summaries lack coherence, which a human is required to obtain.
As a copywriter, my expertise lies in crafting engaging narratives and understanding the nuances of language that resonate with audiences. The AI tool serves as a valuable assistant, but it is ultimately my creative input that brings the content to life. I have noticed at work recently, many view AI tools as either being a threat to job security, or not worth using as the output isn't high enough quality. This week’s third reading, AI in Fiction and the Future of War, The Strategy Bridge, reminded me of this in the section titled “AI As A Villian”, where the authors explain how AI has been characterized as a threat in fiction, including the iconic character of HAL from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.
This theme continued in reading 4, Expert views about missing AI narratives: is there an AI story crisis?, where, in the “Findings” section, the authors note: “Our research supports the view that AI narratives and stories play an important role in conceiving of social order, but at present, scholars feel that dominant narratives polarize toward notions of threat or a kind of myopic solutionism.” and “On the one hand, stories are seen to portray AI as a silver bullet, on the other, they are the very origin of moral panic.”
In conclusion, I firmly believe that AI writing tools like Ryte have a significant role to play in the future of communications. They streamline processes and enhance productivity for copywriters. However, they will always rely on human intervention and creativity to ensure that the final output truly connects with readers on an emotional level.
