Well written using ChatGPT. Tanner Steed has the right concepts for being a fine artist. I am glad he is "making it" 'er Making Fine art!

Thank you. We do edit them so it's not "pure" chatGPT, but the summary it gives us is a helpful starting place.

I don't always have time to listen to full shows, so I appreciated being able to read this recap of takeaways. I can imagine that write-ups like this will actually move me to listen to more of the interviews than I might have otherwise. Keep it up!

I find ChatGPT so helpful in my own art career. Especially with teaching. I write what I want to say, run it through ChatGPT which will clarify my message, improve the layout with sections and bullet points. Then I go through and polish the text again to be sure it’s my voice and intent. ChatGPT saves me hours. And often brings up suggestions I haven’t thought of. So I approve and understand why you use ChatGPT.

It is helpful. And we do polish and add to what it outputs for these summary articles. HOWEVER, for my own writing I am very careful not to do that. It is easy to allow it’s voice to take over. For a teaching guide, I think that’s a good use case for it though. One things I can’t stand is “AI Voice” and I edit out as much of that as possible when we do use it for these summaries. CHatGPT also has a tendency to write “empty sentences” that SEEM profound upon a first reading but that don’t actually say anything at all that makes sense. I’m always on the lookout for those and I remove those ruthlessly. These summaries are the only place we use it in these newsletters at the moment.

I agree, that Ai voice is very easy to spot and often makes no sense. For commercial text, as in teaching summaries, it’s helpful but definitely not for our own personal writing.

We have many artists telling us how useful they find these short summaries. What is your specific objection to using ChatGPT to pull out these summaries? Keep in mind, we do spend an hour editing them and making corrections so this is not "pure" ChatGPT but more like ChatGPT providing the summary and us editing it for clarity and to add color where we know things it does not. Do you have a specific objection? Or is this more of a knee-jerk reaction against all AI just on principle?
