Thank you for the feedback

    I have to confess that I may be a little addicted to getting feedback from ChatGPT. I use AI assistance to check my grammar, when I remember. I’m notorious for skipping words in my sentences. Gestalt theory prevents me from seeing it until it’s too late.

    I always prompt the AI assistant with a simple check my grammar. Sometimes, I say please, check my grammar, because it seems rude not to. But then I remember that Chat is not a person, and to prevent myself from falling into some kind of weird Her situation, I force myself to omit the please.

    Anyway, even with that simple prompt, Chat insists on giving me more feedback beyond just a pointing out a missing a comma. I’m pretty sure it’s a way to keep me coming back and not using some other grammar app. Here are a few examples of the feedback I’ve received:

    That sentence sounds great! It’s natural, clear, and has a nice flow. It effectively conveys that the driver had plenty to say without being overly wordy. Well done!

    Your grammar is excellent, and your writing has a natural, engaging flow.

    Your writing is engaging and conversational, and these are just small tweaks for clarity and grammatical accuracy!

    Why, thank you for that feedback, Chat!

    You see what I mean about getting you hooked?

    Here’s the twist: the feedback may keep me going to the site for grammar checks, but it doesn’t keep me writing. The feedback and connections from real life people like you, reader, are what keep me going.

    So, thank you for the feedback, fellow slicers!

    *Interestingly, after I put this piece through the grammar check, ChatGPT didn’t give me any flattering feedback. 🤔

      From a real person, it has been such a great month. This is another example of strong thematic writing (yikes, AI much?):”…the feedback may keep me going to the site for grammar checks, but it doesn’t keep me writing. The feedback and connections from real life people like you, reader, are what keep me going.” As Nancie Atwell says, “Why you write is the heart of it all.” Here’s yours.Thanks.

      I have never used AI to check my grammar. Maybe I should because I have an “h” key that sticks and I don’t always catch the missing “h”. I have enjoyed your posts throughout the month. I want to thank you for giving me the push I needed to sign up this year.

      Maybe Chatgp was reflecting on the ethical ramifications of feedback for itself.

      so true. The comments from IRL writers keeps me writing!

      I totally agree with you! Getting feedback from the SOL community is so much better than AI feedback. Well done on completing the challenge! 🙂

      I think AI has a role in helping with grammar as well as word choice, but rarely does she/he tell me I have done a good job! On the other side, this community of writers and you have given me LOTS of feedback this month and for that I am grateful.
