Thanks everyone for another great power hour. Be sure to catch the replay below: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGe-3SMUwr8 I got a decent word count today—about 1500 words. That’s not my definition of “decent” normally, but I ran into an unfortunate bug with my...

First things first, folks, there’s a power hour on Saturday. Be there or be a rhombus!!! Second, some updates on my AI editing progress. As many of you know, I am exploring two potential ways to use the power of GPT-3 (and soon 4) to edit my books for typos. It’s a...

I spent most of the day catching up on random tasks here and there that I had let go over the course of the week. My updates to my dictation macro are almost done and I should have them in hand tomorrow. This will be the most powerful version of the macro yet. It will...

Standard R.A.M.P. update today. For reading, I’ve been reading a lot about GPT-3 and AI in general. I got a crash course in tokenization today. For data analysis, I continued testing the Google Docs AI editing project I have been talking about today. It’s not looking...

Great day today. A few items (this won’t be a R.A.M.P. post). The first is that a couple of folks had a conversation in last night’s chat about the ethics of AI and the consequences of using AI services. It’s an important discussion. I’m bullish on this tech, but I’m...

OK, here are some details on what I’m working on related to AI editing. If I fail, it’ll be a few day’s worth of work lost and not that big of a deal, and I will have learned a metric ton of knowledge about GPT-3. If I succeed, we all win!!!!! For the last two days,...

This is a short but hopefully powerful post that underscores my points thus far about ChatGPT-3 being an excellent editing tool. As many of you know, I dictate my stories. Dragon is fantastic, but it makes some really goofy errors sometimes, even if you speak clearly....

Today was a great day. I hit my quota again (second day in a row after a long drought), and I also got another programming project off the ground. I am still trying to get my dictation macro updated. Programmers keep bailing on me. It’s not the easiest job in the...

I wanted to talk about two things tonight. The more important thing is buried deeper down. First, I mentioned a few nights ago that I’ve been taking my downtime to study the works of mega bestsellers and have been learning a lot. Someone asked me yesterday who I’ve...
