I’m not in the ballpark with my pals who think AI art programs are the bees knees and AI writing programs will someday soon “create” some type of functional, cash-earning entertainment product.

You may have read my most-read article. Here it is, in case you haven’t.

It took me more than a decade to write this. It’s a step-by-step account of the worst days of my life. The title is true. It tells what happened when Lali died, the days I had to spend in family court, and how my daughter and I have eventually been healing ever since we lost Lali.

So, here’s what good old “Originality.AI” had to say:

The “Originality.AI” report for the above-linked personal essay — 3,600 words

I ran another, more recent essay through. I published this on Christmas Day, and it was just an overview of … how happy I am! My philosophy, I guess you could say.

There’s not 3% AI writing in this. There is zero. Not only is there zero, it’s so far from something any chat program would spew it should be ZERO.

I don’t much write the type of “content” these programs supposedly exist to detect (or create). But this morning I did complete a brief 700 word assignment for a design-build contractor. I have a background in affordable housing and community development so something like this is easy and quick for me to do.

[Note: Originality.AI staff has communicated with me — what these “scores” mean is that it is unlikely anything was AI-written — however, I think the “system” does need work because they should say “zero”]
