![]() ![]() Growing up, I’d always dream of being a published author. I’m a professional editor and ghostwriter. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations? Erica, love having you share your insights with us. But I truly believe that there is a fine line when it comes to claiming what ChatGPT spits out as our own thinking and understanding of any given topic. In some cases, it has shortened my turnaround time for writing. In the freelance writing and editing industry, along with the education industry, I am seeing massive trends and changes with the incorporation of more machine learning tools that are rapidly becoming available. But there is most certainly an unethical way to use ChatGPT by having it generate discussion forum posts and entire essays, allowing writers and students alike to take this generated information and claim it as their own. It can help increase understanding as the engine gathers vast amounts of information and organizes it to be easily understood. It’s a great engine for gathering ideas for writing. And therefore, I should not only teach my students about ChatGPT, but how to use it ethically. I’m a firm believer that student success hinges on the understanding of the latest technology. My goal as a writer and educator is to teach my students how to ethically use these new technologies. I teach English courses at the local community college and for various universities. In essence, all of these different algorithms that create new content are new tools that can be ethically used. we think of when we think of Hollywood movies. Most of the new technologies are just detailed algorithms, and therefore more machine learning than the A.I. That is why I often refer to ChatGPT not as A.I, but M.L (machine learning). ![]() But no matter how these technologies function, they still need human interaction and imagination. What this whole process taught me from an educator point of view is that there are new technologies being created all the time that are helping to solve all sorts of problems. I think the most ironic part of this experiment is that a client of mine who is writing a book on the data industry taught me how to do this, and encouraged me to use this method for their book. What used to take me days now takes me an hour or two as I use technology to write chapters at an alarming speed based on what the client wants in any part of the book. Then, that transcription can be placed into ChatGPT to be rephrased into the desired writing tone and voice. I can record a meeting with a client as we discuss the next chapter in a book, and then take the recording to be transcribed automatically into text with the latest A.I technology. And it’s the hottest topic of discussion at colleges and universities.ĬhatGPT changed the way I work as a ghostwriter. It’s really changing a lot of different aspects of business and industries. My reply was that it was completely changing the game I’ve played in for over a decade. The student asked how the use of machine learning algorithms such as ChatGPT were redefining the freelance writing world. In this class, students learn my method for writing a book in 30 days a method I’ve used for many years when ghostwriting for busy business professionals. I recently received an email from one of my students who is taking my online 30-day book challenge. We’d love to start by getting your thoughts on what you are seeing as some of the biggest trends emerging in your industry. ![]() We recently connected with Erica Reed and have shared our conversation below. ![]()
