My daughter has used AI a lot to write grant proposals, which she cleans up and rewords before submitting. In her prompts she tells it to ask her questions and incorporate her answers into the result, which she says works very well, produces high quality writing, and saves her a ton of time. She’s actually a very competent writer herself, so when she compliments the quality I know it means something.
That’s a good way to use the tool. I generally use the OpenAI option to set up a custom gpt and tell it to become an expert on the subject I’m writing about, then set the parameters. Then once I’ve tested it on a piece of the subject matter I already understand and confirm it’s working properly, I begin asking it questions. When I’m out of questions or just need a break, I go back and check the citations for each answer just to make sure I’m not getting bad data.
Once I’ve run out of questions and all the data is verified, I have it create an outline with a brief summary of each section. Then I take that outline and use that to guide me as I write. Also it seems like the A.I. always puts at least one section in the wrong place so that’s just another reason I like to write it myself and just use an A.I. summary outline.
