Well that's weird, because I didn't need AI to improve my writing.
All it took was one very good and very short book:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Elements_of_Style
I don't agree with everything in it, but I agree with most of it.
Personally I don't use Notepad for writing writing. Its a functional writing app. A app for copying and pasting code, or making a list, or crude ascii art. If I need to bold something, or do text formatting, thats when I open up the several orders of magnitude larger office apps.
That's another issue, but I agree. I was just addressing the idea that this is what people need to help them be better writers.
All this will do is to teach them how to better write specific sentences. If they even read the suggestion before using it.
Yeah. I hate reading "essays" generated by an AI.
Keep it short for better reader experience.
Everytime I see a commercial where someone uses AI to make something larger and embellish and such, I think of the other commercials where people use the same AI to summarize it for them.
There's a place for more formal writing.
But the point of using precise, formal language is the intent behind it. If you're just RNG-ing it it loses all meaning.
