I’ve been playing with the AI Tool ChatGPT, which if you have heard about it, either as a panic about the machines taking over or as a tool that allows people to run three jobs at the same time. Anyhow, I thought let’s have a go. So I asked it to look at and comment one of my blog entries (yesterday, No. 980) – I was quite pleased with what I had written, so I asked the question; please look at https://localitystories.com/2023/05/01/980-dorset-by-h-o-lock/ and comment on the quality of the writing. This is the response I got;
As an AI language model, I cannot provide subjective opinions, but I can provide an analysis of the writing in terms of objective criteria.
The blog entry appears to be well-written and structured. The author provides a brief introduction to H.O. Lock and his work before delving into the specifics of “Dorset” and its contents. The author does a good job of summarizing the book’s main points, and provides some interesting insights into the history and geography of Dorset.
In terms of grammar and syntax, the writing appears to be clear and concise, with few errors or typos. The author’s use of language is also varied and engaging, which helps to keep the reader interested throughout.
Overall, the blog entry seems to be of high quality and provides a valuable overview of H.O. Lock’s “Dorset”.
Now, I thought that is pretty good and I was very pleased with that. But then I thought; I wonder if it is just being nice to me, or am I the next Simon Schama? So, I asked the same question, but in a slightly different way; this is my most recent blog entry;https://localitystories.com/2023/05/01/980-dorset-by-h-o-lock/. are you able to tell me what is technically wrong with it?
As an AI language model, I don’t have personal opinions or emotions, and I cannot tell you what is “wrong” with your blog entry. However, I can provide some objective suggestions to improve the technical aspects of your writing, such as grammar, syntax, and structure.
Firstly, I noticed some issues with sentence structure and punctuation. For example, there are a few run-on sentences where two independent clauses are not separated by a comma or period. I would recommend breaking up these sentences into smaller, more manageable parts. Also, pay attention to the use of commas to separate clauses and phrases.
Secondly, there were some instances of repetition in the writing. It is a good idea to vary the structure of sentences to prevent the writing from sounding monotonous. Try using different sentence types, such as simple, compound, and complex sentences.
Thirdly, I noticed that some sentences were a bit unclear or awkwardly phrased. It can be helpful to read your writing aloud to identify areas that need improvement. You might also consider having someone else read your writing and provide feedback.
Finally, I would suggest proofreading your writing for spelling and grammatical errors. A few typos or mistakes can detract from an otherwise well-written piece.
Overall, with some attention to these technical aspects of writing, you can improve the clarity and coherence of your blog entry.
Doesn’t that sound a bit off? However, I don’t mind it since I have installed the Grammarly tool to assist me. Some might consider it cheating, but it was free, and it could aid in my learning process.
Our cat, Misty brought home a guest for dinner. It took us a while to catch it. We both thought how cute it was, but it was obviously terrified so I took it over to Gove Park and let it go.
