AI Editing

Packy McCormick shares his experiences using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude for editing and content refinement. He finds these tools useful for sanity-checking his work and providing feedback, though he admits they have limitations as editors. Packy notes, "ChatGPT and anthropic and Claude are both pretty bad editors in different ways," but appreciates their ability to highlight potential issues in his writing 1. Despite their flaws, he values AI for its ability to offer different perspectives and help him identify hidden problems in his drafts 2.

   

Visuals with AI

In addition to editing, Packy McCormick explores the use of AI for generating visuals to enhance his content. Initially, he was enthusiastic about AI-generated images, believing they could replace traditional drawing. However, he soon realized that these images often look generic, leading him to use them more sparingly 2. Packy explains, "Sometimes the images are perfect and sometimes they're not, but they all end up looking a little bit alike," highlighting the challenge of maintaining originality with AI-generated visuals 2.
