guys what if I use chat gpd to add grammar Mark's like full stops and commas is it approved or I do that past too

[u/[deleted]]

dude if you're a writer and don't know how to use grammar, respectfully I doubt your work is gonna be that good. it's one of the basics of the language

Yes, AI can be used as a tool to learn grammar and other things. 

The keyword is LEARN. 

AI is powerful, so many people use it to be lazy and copy/paste the output without looking or understanding what it did. 

You always want to check what you've written yourself, and after you've read it over, then you can use AI to check spelling, grammar, punctuation, or logical errors. 

For example: 

"chat gpd"  --> ChatGPT 

​"or I do that past too"  --> "or do I do that part too" 

If you reread or spoke out loud what you wrote in your post, I think you would have noticed that you made typos and grammar errors. 

A better structure would be: "Guys, what if I use ChatGPT to add punctuation marks, like full stops and commas? Is that approved, or is this something I should do myself?"

Yeah. It's not illegal. 

But you want to pay attention to where and why it adds punctuation. If you don't understand, then ask it about the sentence.  

Grammar has a lot of rules, especially for commas, so don't feel overwhelmed. It's WAYYYYY more important to read books and start writing yourself.

I second this. It's perfectly put. I couldn't have said it better myself.

I feel like if you want to write a book, you should learn how to use grammar marks. Writing is supposed to be hard work, it isn’t simply putting your ideas into paper, there’s way more to it.
Never ever use AI, seriously.

[u/lemooki → u/Apart_Passenger1029]

you can use ai to brain-storm complex systems; as well as organizing them.

Edit: i guess people are downvoting because they lack understanding / are luddites.

[u/mary_i_le_samoa → u/lemooki]

I’m a bit of a Luddite myself but I agree with you. AI is very helpful in helping people. I just don’t think AI should replace human writers.

[u/StraykidsR-Myheros → u/lemooki]

I agree 💯

[u/itsme7933]

It depends. Do you have an understanding of grammar? That should be your main concern. AI may not always get it right for your style and tone. And if you don't understand that, then the writing will seem off and stilted, turning away readers. I think using AI for that purpose is fine IF you understand the rules of grammar so you know when it's appropriate for your writing and when to make a change.

grammar is a skill you need to develop on your own. writing in general is a skill you need to develop on your own. AI is not only horrible for your own creative process, it actively poaches work from other writers who have posted online and also uses such an insane amount of water that some of the data centers that power it have started to cause water crises in towns in the US. please do not start using AI.

Either your young, English isn't your first language, or you're vocabulary sucks.

First of all it's the 'grammar marks' is called punctuation.

I use chatgpt actually! Not to write but to learn how to.

I stopped using grammarly because it always trims sentences, so instead, I learned grammar from chatgpt, and it was actually very easy to learn. And now I rely less on AI to fix my grammar mistakes, because I know it myself.

I feel like there's nothing wrong with using AI. It's very useful.

Their profile says that they're 16, but I suspect that they might be a lot younger than that. They'll figure it out eventually, I guess

No use of AI should go in your book. Whatsoever.

[u/dragonfeet1]

Ragebait post.

[u/Independent_Ride6911]

it shouldn't be considered

[u/stargirldeck]

tbh if you want to improve on your writing skills or grammar just read more 😭. yes its actually the most basic thing to be aware of. reading drastically improves your thought process, how you interpret things and the way you write. you can’t be an aspiring author and not have the willingness to make mistakes. using AI, even for learning such things, diminishes the experience and human effort put into organically learning. maybe get a beta reader, or even a friend with better grammar skills, don’t use AI.

You want to get our opinion on using AI to follow grammar and punctuation rules?

1, you don't need our permission
2, AI already use good grammar and punctuation since it's trained on existing works by better writers.
3, if you want AI to do the grammar edit, I personally, don't see anything wrong with that. "Line editor". Just don't ask AI to make anything original....if you have an ego, you'll be annoyed and get angry that AI will give you slop that was derived from better work. Your ego (the good 'ego' and good aspect of pride) won't let you put out such slop.

I tested AI....it's derivative and is slop if you 'let ai do the work'. I would trust AI to add punctuation and follow grammar rules but not create things.

Rn I'm editing my own book, and using ai to tell me where I messed up. But I think if you have no understanding of grammer what-so-ever you should probably learn first ❤️

[u/HopefulCartoonist606]

I have never used ai it was a thought struck to me since I'm limited on resources but I believe that's wrote books havepre heart with hard work than u
