This is how I feel when teachers pronounce that a student’s work is AI because it lacks specificity. I mean maybe, but also, it’s such a common human error that in Year 11 we gifted our English teacher a stamp saying “BE MORE SPECIFIC” so she wouldn’t have to keep writing it on everyone’s papers

Please do not try to clock “balanced list of threes” as an AI tell because that’s been classic rhetorical structure for going on three millennia and it’s baked into all our writing now, I‘m begging people to read more old things

Have you watched my latest video? (And have you shared it if you enjoyed it?👀) Here's what people are saying about it! "This might be your best video" "a timeless masterpiece" "Yep and that's me crying" "extremely inspiring" "This came at such a perfect time" "I think I needed this video." "Meh"

It's honestly difficult to think of anything that GenAI could usefully do for me re: the channel. The closest thing would be video editing I guess. Finding and inserting clips can be fairly boring, and theoretically AI that could do that might save time on what is largely "drudge" work -

Having an idea and fully exploring it (the essence of my channel) involves a level of originality and personal expression that GenAI can and will never achieve, so GenAI is fundamentally useless to me there. Moreover, I enjoy the creative process. If I didn't there'd be no channel. (2/3)

I suppose now is as good a time as any to clarify this, but I've never used GenAI for any Pixel a Day videos or articles, in any capacity. I am a much better writer than ChatGPT is, and there is nothing it could do to help me with the process of coming up with a video idea. (1/3)
