My Line Editing Journey with ChatGPT
Many people have controversial thoughts when it comes to using generative AI for creative writing. And it really depends on your use-case. If you’re asked to write an essay on oranges for a school assignment and instructed to not use AI/online tools, then using ChatGPT to write the whole thing for you is violation of the homework policy.
