    I’ve spent 2 months transcribing an entire poorly written text book into a Google doc. I’m now taking that transcription and having chat gpt rewrite it all for readability. All so I can maybe pass certification exam.

    The problem is less with us and more with academia having developed an highly oppressive way of writing things. But from my perspective it’s just sloppy unreadable garbage.

    AI has been great I can just give It the promt “make this concise and readable using only common language” and it will take entire chapters down to simple point form lists for me.

    I also use goblin tools for writing.

        Just in case there are malicious clones of it out there, the official site is goblin.tools 👍

            I haven’t had a reason to use it properly yet, just testing, but it looks great. It’s not perfect though. I asked it for a way to check what programs I have installed on Windows because I want to switch to Linux, and its answer was that I should make a list of the installed programs >.<

              Tips for switching to Linux cause why not:

              1. Don’t… until you’ve switched to cross-platform software that you know fullfils your needs.

              2. Use a live session for a few days, weeks, months, before you actually install it.

              3. Don’t expect it to act like Windows, it isn’t
