I am going to attempt to write more in this blog. I'm not sure what I'll write about but I think writing more is beneficial.
Writing helps me refine my thoughts. It's easy to jump from thought to thought in your head. You can't jump away from words on a page, or a screen, the same way; they provide a anchor that shows you what you were last thinking about. Without that anchor its easy to get swept away and never return to the actual point of your initial thought.
Whatever I do decide to write on I want to keep as human as possible. Generative AI is interesting and I would never have expected it to come as far as it has, but I'm writing to better understand my thoughts, not to understand how an AI model processes prompts. That being said, I might use some phrasing or interesting structure from the AI, but I will always absorb it and write it down myself. However I find that I don't like the writing style of AI, it seems to generate a lot of fluff with little substance.
I used to be scared of writing and publishing articles as I felt that there is a chance of being dreadfully wrong, this is a natural feeling to have. However, I have realized, that being wrong is an opportunity to better myself. (I would say I'm only human, but I've been lied to by GPT-4 and copilot so many times I'm not going to). So here is to this post, hopefully the first of many.
P.S. I learnt today that the 12th of September was Programmer's day, so happy programmers day! Fun Fact: Programmer's day can alternate between the 12th and 13th depending on whether it is a leap year or not.
