Premise (PLEASE DON’T SKIP THIS — IT’S IMPORTANT)

Before you scroll down to the prompts, there’s something that must be said about AI, writing, and writers.

An AI chatbot is a tool — like a hammer. You can use a hammer to put up paintings on the wall, build a hospital for kids, defend yourself from a mugger, or smash your partner’s head. A hammer is neither good nor bad. A hammer is a hammer. But what you use a hammer for can have good or bad consequences.

An AI chatbot is the same. An AI chatbot is a terrible tool for you as a non-native English writer if you let the machine write for you.

How will you ever improve your writing by merely copying and pasting texts produced by a computer program? The more you do that, the less you use your brain. The less you use your brain, the dumber you get. The dumber you get, the worse your writing becomes.

Plus, by now, most people can spot AI-generated sentences from miles away. And no one — no one! — wants to read a story written by a chatbot. What the world wants is stories written by the people who lived them.
