Discover how AI can assist with editing tasks such as grammar, clarity, style, and feedback to improve the overall quality of your writing
The implications of AI on society are vast and complicated.
Despite this, as individuals, we have no choice but to embrace the technology (read my justification here).
With regards to writing, AI can support you at every stage of The Publishing Process. This post shares 4 ways to use AI to help edit and enhance existing writing you’ve already created.
Starting with the most simple use case, AI can help with the basics.
Grammatical errors cost the writer some credibility. But lucky for us, tools like Grammarly can catch most of these errors.
Leveraging software like Grammarly will help you to write higher-quality content in a shorter amount of time. And it will help you feel more confident when publishing as you will know there will not be (too many) simple mistakes.
At this stage of The Publishing Process, AI can help you to meet basic high-quality writing objectives. You can ask the AI to rewrite a paragraph to be more clear, concise, simple, attention-grabbing, and more.
For example, if you believe a paragraph feels too long and verbose, you can pull out the paragraph and prompt AI to “rewrite this paragraph to be more clear and concise.”
At the very least, this will give you some ideas of ways you can improve the paragraph to meet this writing objective.
TIP: It’s always more manageable to work with smaller sections of your writing rather than prompting the AI to make your entire post align with an objective. For example, maybe you only want your opening paragraph to be more attention-grabbing. Focus on leveraging AI to give you ideas on how to improve those few sentences rather than the entire draft.
One of the more fun ways to leverage AI in the final stage of the writing process is to experiment with different styles and tones.
You can prompt the AI to rewrite a near-complete post in a different tone.
