You said perfectly what I’ve been thinking. A week or so ago I read a post about how you could copy one of your own essays and plug it into ChatGPT with the provided prompt and it would spit out 30 perfectly curated Notes. So, having never used ChatGPT before, I tried it. Sure enough, in seconds I was provided with a beautifully written Note per day for the next month. I was impressed at how perfect they were. But I was simultaneously horrified at what I was seeing: my own work morphed into plagiarism. I quick shut the program as if I’d been looking at porn. Then I started wondering how many of the perfectly written Notes I read in a day are generated that way. It feels like an invasion.

Thank you, Shannon. It feels like the heart and soul of writing is lost when these tools are used. Our spirits kind of sense that something real and true is missing. And yes, we honor our Creator God when we create to please Him.
