- jesterson 28d agoUse it to rewrite your OWN thoughts, or translate it to english. Not bloat with phrases sounding fancy but carrying no meaning
- myaccountonhn 28d agoHow will you learn if you don't practice?
- xenocratus 28d agoYou write your reply and ask the AI to fix the spelling / grammar for you. It's really not the same thing
- whazor 28d agoCreate new chat after step 2, then ask AI to fix the spelling / grammar of those three sentences

- askonomm 28d agoHow did people do it before AI? Spellchecks have existed forever. Also, people have the ability to improve, so if you offload all your work elsewhere, you will never improve.
- RugnirViking 28d agodet sker nogle gange! når man er ny til et sprog, det kan være forskrakkelig at skrive i et professionelt område. Men det er bare en del af dine udvikling - du kan sagtens skrive på hvilken sprog når som helst, og de kan bruge deres værktøj til at forstå det, du siger. Der skal kom et tid hvor du skal tale på en sprog på dit kontor. Uden hjælp. Du har bruge for at øve dig, og folk er alligevel pænere end du tror. (this being written in a foreign language I am learning is part of the point)
- walrus01 28d agoخب، در آن صورت، من وقت می گذاشتم و متنی را با دست می نوشتم و دقیقاً همان چیزی را که نوشته بودم از طریق نرم افزار ترجمه ماشینی اجرا می کردم.
- benrutter 28d agoДа, тоа изгледа како среќна средина.
- kuboble 28d agoAsk the ai to point out the egregious mistakes only. Especially today, I will prefer your slightly funny English to something that feels like AI. And personally I do Support for people around the world and I often ask people to write in their native language. Then I can translate myself and if the default ai translation gets something wrong I can add necessary context to improve it - which I can't really do if the only thing I get is the bad ai translation.
- dragandj 28d agoAt this point I would hold that silly sounding message in a much higher regard than I would hold AI slop.
- gib444 28d agoI also suffer from this! But it's called growth. You will not improve language skills if you are too afraid to practice them And in my experience, us Brits, and USA folk, we tend to be quite understanding of broken English

- Ekaros 28d agoDon't be. Read it through a few times and fix anything you think needs fixing. Go simpler if needed. You might just use shorter sentences. They are fine. And then you can use some pre-AI tool like Word that has some suggestions.
- alchemism 28d agoDon’t use a calculator, either.
- Hugsbox 28d agoIf you respond to me with slightly "off" english, I at least know it was a fellow human who wrote it and I will act accordingly.
