Hello, dear readers,
I dared to try an exciting experiment: I had three articles in my blog written by an artificial intelligence (AI), even this article referring to it. Why did I do that? And what was the result? I would like to explain this to you in this article.
I have long been fascinated by the possibilities offered by AI, especially in the field of creative writing. I wondered if an AI would be able to write interesting, informative and entertaining texts that reflect my own style and voice. To find out, I used an AI platform that allowed me to enter some keywords and characteristics for the items I wanted. The AI then generated the texts based on these specifications.
The three articles I had the AI write are:
- An article about sustainable barbecuing*
- A vegan barbecue recipe*
- An article about the environmental friendliness of charcoal*
I have to admit that I was very excited to see what the texts would look like. And I was pleasantly surprised: AI managed to produce three different articles, each of which had a professional tone, an appropriate length and a suitable format for a blog post. The texts were not perfect, but they were perfectly readable and understandable. They also contained some interesting facts and arguments that I would not have known or considered myself.
Of course, an AI cannot do everything that a human author can. The AI has no opinion or experience of its own, it can only draw on existing information. The AI cannot react to feedback or questions either, it can only deliver what it is given. The AI can also make mistakes or choose inappropriate wording that a human editor would have to correct.
That’s why I don’t want to withhold from you which articles were written by me and which were written by the AI. You can recognize it by the following marking:
– Articles with an asterisk (*) at the end have been written by the AI.
– Articles without asterisks were written by me.
I invite you to read the articles and let me know what you think. What do you think of the quality of the AI texts? Can you recognize a difference to my texts? Would you like to read more articles by an AI or do you prefer human authors? I look forward to your comments and suggestions.
Thank you for your attention and enjoy reading!
