Updated blog post: AI Tools and Technical Writing https://coredump3.blogspot.com/2023/03/ai-tools-and-technical-writing.html Updated to include a link to a YouTube video about how freelance editors can use ChatGPT, including a downloadable prompt file.

I wrote a blog post commenting on Tom Johnson's excellent article on language-generative AI tools.

While they have many uses, I am worried that they may reinforce the "anyone can write" attitude of many managers.

Thanks in part to great suggestions I've had over the last couple days about making my Mastodon experience even better, I'm following a bunch of folks from #lawfedi #philosophy and #CommStudies. Just sayin in case I look like some kinda crazy follow-bot. I use hashtags to post on and track topics I'm interested in. Follow back if any of these are your gigs:

Is the problem with #ChatGPT 'cheating,' or is it failure to practice what you want to be? The take from @billhd@twitter.com

#TeamRhetoric #WritingStudies #TechComm #LegalWriting friends: I'm on a project with a long #PDF report where I must ensure its compliance with #Section508 and other federal regulations relating to #DocumentAccessibility . I'm hoping to go beyond mere legal compliance, though, and seek state-of-the-art accessibility resources. I can search the web (and have), but I'm interested in resources you have actually used or supervised others using that you have found especially useful. Boost plz!

@joe Thanks. I’ve been meaning to join up with a #TechComm or #ProComm scholar to explore audience reactions to that approach empirically. That will have to wait until post-tenure, however

#introductions
Okay, so I'm doing the listing interests as tags thing because that seems useful. To make connections, tag 5-7 things not already in your profile, and then post the instructions so others will follow suit.
