Creative writing and AI

Hi there!
It’s been quite some time since I last posted, and I am so excited to be back!
AI is alive and well and becoming more popular by the day. I know there’s been a lot of controversy over whether or not AI will eventually kill true creative writing. Honestly, I can see the argument that using AI isn’t authentic and therefore isn’t real. And if it’s not real, how can anyone truly connect with it?
Recently, I was watching an anime that was extremely confusing, and I had to turn to AI to understand the plot. Usually, I would just stop watching something that seemed to have choppy storytelling, but there was something about the story that kept me intrigued. After researching more about what the anime was about, and ChatGPT explaining how it was a poetic anime with metaphorical narrative, I realized what kept me from turning it off and what pushed me to research. I felt the scenes, even though I logically couldn’t understand the cadence of the story. I felt deep loss in certain scenes, but I didn’t understand why—so I took my questions to ChatGPT.
From there, I got lost in a rabbit hole of deeply poetic, written scenes that reawakened my passion for writing. I wanted to write like the scenes I read in ChatGPT.
So I asked ChatGPT to teach me.
This gave me an idea. I can practice this type of deep, dramatic, feeling-filled scene writing and be corrected like I was in school again. This way, I can learn and actually become a better writer.
So I’ve decided: I will use ChatGPT to guide me with writing prompts, correct me, and teach me how what I’ve written can be better.
Even this post—I asked ChatGPT to correct my grammar. Not to rewrite or take away my voice, but to simply correct my grammatical mistakes. As if I’m writing a draft and having it edited by my teacher or editor before the final form.
I feel so blessed to have something that can help me improve my writing skills so my true voice can be heard. So I can be heard. So I can clearly articulate the thoughts I want to share with the world, and it be 100 percent my voice—not that of AI. I will use AI to guide me, like a teacher would, to hone my skill and maybe one day write something worthy of note.

Here’s my original writing that I asked ChatGPT to grammatically correct.
Prompt: Revise this blog entry by just correcting the grammatical errors. Keep my voice:

Usually, I would just stop watching something that seemed to have choppy story telling but there was something about the story that kept me intrigued. After researching more of what the anime was about and cahtgpt explaining how it was a poetic anime with heavy eloque and metaphorical narrative I realized what kept me from turning it off and turning to research.

I then asked ChatGPT to explain what was corrected:
Prompt: Tell me what was corrected please.
Absolutely! Here’s a breakdown of the grammatical corrections made to your original blog post. I kept your voice intact—just smoothed out the grammar for clarity and correctness.
🔤 What Was Corrected and Why
Verb Tense and Consistency
Original: “since I’ve last posted”
Corrected: “since I last posted”
✅ “Since” with a past action calls for the simple past, not present perfect.
Run-on Sentences / Comma Usage
Original: “Recently, I was watching an anime that was extremely confusing and I had to turn to AI…”
Corrected: “Recently, I was watching an anime that was extremely confusing, and I had to turn to AI…”
✅ Added a comma before “and” to separate two independent clauses.
Spelling
Original: “cahtgpt explaining”
Corrected: “ChatGPT explaining”
✅ Corrected typo.
Original: “eloque”
Corrected: “eloquence”
✅ Used the correct noun form.
Original: “rabbit whole”
Corrected: “rabbit hole”
✅ Fixed the incorrect phrase.
Awkward or Unclear Phrasing
Original: “I realized what kept me from turning it off and turning to research.”
Corrected: “I realized what kept me from turning it off and what pushed me to research.”
✅ Clarified the sentence so both actions make sense and aren’t contradictory.
Missing Commas for Clarity
Original: “deep poetic written scenes”
Corrected: “deeply poetic, written scenes”
✅ Added an adverb for grammatical agreement and a comma for flow.
Sentence Fragments
Original: “Even this post I asked ChatGPT to correct my grammar.”
Corrected: “Even this post—I asked ChatGPT to correct my grammar.”
✅ Added an em dash to indicate a pause and avoid a run-on feel.
Parallel Structure
Original: “to guide me with writing prompts and correct me and teach me how…”
Corrected: “to guide me with writing prompts, correct me, and teach me how…”
✅ Added commas to improve readability and maintain parallel structure.
