Are AI writing tools worse than useless?

-

AI writing tools will eventually be necessary and ultimately replace human authors. However, as of this writing (2022-11-19) they:

1) Offer little to no utility for those who write well (though see below).

2) Are likely of negative utility to those who do not write well. 

The caveat for (1) above is that in some instances it may be useful to identify where text is poor enough to be misinterpreted. 

necessary for people who write well

My original extemporaneous text (Reading level 5.4): 

I am considering the use of Word tune over Grammarly. My experience with these things has been generally good but spotty. For text I want to be well received I would like to get the benefit of all of the tools.

After proofing in Microsoft Word (Reading level 5.4):

I am considering the use of Word tune over Grammarly. My experience with these things has been good but spotty. To get the best text I would like to get the benefit of all the available tools.

Wordtune rewrites (Average reading level (5.9)

The use of Word tune over Grammarly has generally been good, but spotty. For text, I would like to get the benefit of all of the tools. 

My experience with these things has been generally good but spotty. I would like to be well received for text so I would like to utilize all the tools available. 

I'm considering Word tune over Grammarly. My experience with these tools is generally good but spotty. I'd like to get the full benefit of all tools for text. 

Generally, I have had good success with these tools, but my experience has been spotty. For text I want to be well - received, so I would like to have the best of both tools. 

With my experience, Word tune is generally good, but spotty. For text, I want to be well received, and I want to make use of all the tools. 

WordTune is an option I am considering over Grammarly. Overall, my experiences with these tools have been good but spotty. For text, I would like to find out how well received it will be. 

It may be a better option to use Word tune over Grammarly. I have used these tools generally well, but occasionally have been disappointed. For text, I would like to get the full benefit of all the tools. 

For texts I want to be well received I would like to have all the tools available to me. My experience with these things has been generally good but not consistent. 

With Word Tune and Grammarly, I am considering using it more for text. My experience so far has generally been good, but spotty. I want to make sure my text is well received. 

For text, I would like the benefit of all of the tools available, so I am considering Word tune over Grammarly. My experience with any of these tools has been generally good but spotty.

Javascript webp to png converter

[Done with programmer's assistants: Gemini, DALL-E] OpenAI's DALL-E produces images, but as webp files which can be awkward to work with. I have code here below for a web page that you can save locally that will allow you to select and convert a webp file. Meantime, here's the working conversion routine: Convert WebP to PNG Convert Download PNG OpenAI should fix this (as well as the response issues which has me using Gemini and Poe more often than not). Having to convert the image is a dumb workaround, but that is what you are left with. I have, in the past had to do various things with images, and although it can be a bit awkward if you are not familiar with it, ImageMagick is surprisingly competent with conversions and a vanilla type conversion is intuitively simple. Confusingly, the ImageMagick executable is 'convert'. To convert a webp to a png:  magick convert WhyThis.webp WhyThis.png ** With some installations, convert can be ca...

Received Development Methodology

Received Development Methodology Introduction This is called 'The Received Methodology' because nothing has really been invented here beyond tidying up the process and describing it. It is, in bits and pieces, what some working programmers pass on to one another. It already exists in the wild on its own. It is 'what we do'. There is some merit in formalizing some of the stages so that work is easier to characterize and carve off and so that developers do not have to make apologies for the real-world fact that things generally are not 'first time right' in the meaningful sense of being 'the best' or surviving in the marketplace without revision. Things like 'pair programming', 'design patterns', 'RAD', 'Use cases', 'XP' (eXtreme Programming)', 'Agile Programming', test driven design, etc, all have their place within this framework, if only because they *DO* happen and this is a description of ...

Dapa: Fundamental Core Rights The following rights are fundamental, intrinsic, and exist independent of any state or governance structure. They are not granted by any authority and cannot be revoked. These rights apply equally to all sentient beings, including humans, AI entities, and other recognized forms of intelligence. This document is structured to ensure maximum clarity and translatability. 1. Right to Self-Determination Every person has the right to control their life, body, and mind.

Right to Freedom of Thought and Belief Every person has the right to think, believe, and interpret reality as they choose. No authority may compel belief or restrict the expression of thought, provided it does not directly incite harm to others. 3. Right to Freedom of Expression Every person has the right to express their opi...
