Speaker 1: Thank you for subscribing to the channel it's much appreciated and for those who haven't subscribed yet it would be much appreciated I'll only take you a second and it's free so thank you right what I want to talk to you about today is should you can you do I use artificial intelligence applications for proof reading, for editing, rephrasing, yeah I do. Now I wouldn't dream of using artificial intelligence for editing say novels, fiction, works where I need to come across, the author needs to come across, you need to come across and you need to be able to people need to be able to distinguish your type of writing your style of writing from someone else's. Now I really think that artificial intelligence will take that personal touch out of it and it'll be more robotic which is basically what it is until you know it develops further. As it stands it's a great idea and I use it for nonfiction I'm using it right now. Now I've created this book in Canva and there's a link here to show you how you can do that too using margins. There's another link here for margins on their own and as you can see here there's a wider gutter margin on this side which is always an odd number. There's some videos there for you to have a look at and I'll also leave a link at the end of this video. With nonfiction I don't mind having a mess about with it. So, if I copy this text. Now, I've written this text and I've gone to great detail. I've really given it a lot of thinking about and from experience as well. So, I do have an idea of what I'm talking about but that doesn't necessarily have to be the case. So, you can write away basically. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm going to copy this. Now, I think it's I think it's spot-on. I'm still going to copy this and I'm going to put it into ChatGPT. Create a new chat, paste and before that I'm going to put proofread and edit. Colon there and proofread and edit. Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's most beautiful coral reefs and beaches. Many Many beaches are known for their white sand, crystal clear waters and stunning sunsets. The coral reefs are home to a diverse range of marine life. There are volcanoes including Mount Merapi in Indonesia and Mount Mayon in the Philippines. These volcanoes provide a glimpse into the region's geological history and are also popular trekking destinations. I've put that together. Now I'm going to proofread and edit. Let's see what ChatGPT has to say. Southeast Asia is home to some of the world's most beautiful coral reefs and beaches, known for their white sand, crystal clear waters and stunning sunsets. The coral reefs offer a habitat for a diverse range of marine life. The region is also known for its volcanoes such as Mount Merapi in Indonesia and Mount Mayon in the Philippines. These volcanoes not only offer a glimpse into the geological history of the region but also serve as popular trekking destinations. Now OK, it's slightly clearer and runs more fluid than mine. then okay so I can just copy that now and paste it in to my space in my book or if I don't like the way it's worded I can put rephrase colon a little space and run it. Southeast Asia boasts some of the world's most gorgeous coral reefs and beaches renowned for their pristine white sand crystal clear waters and breathtaking sunsets. The coral reefs provide a natural habitat for a varied assortment of marine creatures while the region is also distinguished for its volcanoes including Mount Merapi in Indonesia and Mount Mayon in the Philippines which offer a window into the area's geological past and are awesome popular spots for trekking. I much prefer that so I'm going to copy that and I'm gonna replace the text I have in my book with it. Now I've already produced most of the book so I'm just going over it now and taking sections from it, paragraphs from it and running them through ChatGPT. See how I think they look, see whether I can compare it with a rephrase by ChatGPT and see if that looks better which it does here. Now yeah I understand that a lot of people will be, oh that's not writing, that's not right. We're talking nonfiction here. Now like I say, it doesn't really matter that much. It's gonna be robotic, but actually it sounds quite nice. It gets the point across, which is the idea. So we also use Grammarly. So if I click on this, Grammarly integrates itself into lots of apps on your computer, like social media posts and things like that. So, you know, you can just double check things that before you, especially with Twitter, where you can't really change it. You know it's it's a good idea to have a Grammarly app or similar running in the background. So what we've got here we've got varied, a varied assortment of, wants us to change it to various marine creatures. Yeah okay it'll save me some space as well. While the region is also distinguished for its volcanoes at the same time. I'm done. Grammarly is almost happy. What's this? In addition. I don't want in addition. I'm choosing not to have that because I've got at the same time here on the next line and to have in addition and at the same time. I don't really want those to clash. I'm happy with that. Sounds great and I can continue with my book. And do I recommend you use artificial intelligence? Yeah for nonfiction and for other projects or for doing a little proof reading. Like I say you can actually put proofreading. Let's just try it with proofreading. Take this again and leave out the edit. Copy, paste, proofread. The given text is already grammatically correct and no errors were found during proofreading. Brilliant. So not only can I save time in producing my nonfiction book I can also save money from having my work proofread because no doubt if there was two... let me just try if there was two of the. Let me just copy this. Paste it in here. Now a common mistake often is duplicate words like the, the. You've gone on to another line or you've typed the, the. Now this is this is more common than you think in writing. Colon space and get it started. Here is the correct text. Corrected text I should say. There was a repeated the before the phrase coral reefs in the original text which has been removed in the corrected version. So I highly recommend that you don't try to write a book with it completely or ask it to write you a book but once you've created your book you can use it to proofread, to edit. And I would only go with edit or rephrase if you're working with nonfiction. Like I say, fiction needs to be a personal thing. Right, okay. I hope that helps
