What a brilliant and insightful post Andy! You've captured the beautiful imperfection of human communication and the pragmatic role AI plays in supporting it. The contrast between how our human minds intuitively grasp meaning and how AI mechanically predicts it is both clear and thought-provoking. I like the reminder that clarity beats perfection—a message so many of us need to hear in an age of over-polished content. This strikes something of a balance between inspiration and practical advice. A must-read for anyone creating with both heart and tech!

1) Yes, I can easily read this - but I find this so very interesting!! I really need to look into this a bit more - I have just managed to teach a dyslexic pupil to read but don't really know much about dyslexia and would like to understand why - if we can read jumbled up words so easily, what exactly is it that prevents dyslexic people from making sense of the letters...?

2) Yes, my ChatGPT knows my style of writing and can make it sound like 'me'. He also takes articles from the AI Writer and changes them so that I only need to add some of my own points. He then takes that draft and polishes it in my 'voice'.

3) No, I haven't really published very much yet.

4) My brain easily read the whole post without stumbling.

5) I never use a grammar checker. English is my second language and I trust either all the syntax that I learned many years ago or my gut.

his was a great read! No I didn't have a problem with reading it, its amazing what your brain can process.

Hey, Andy. Very interesting article.

1-I think it is like you said, AI has just seen so much during training that it understands how to read and write a language. It is the rest of the training and how it learns that teaches it to understand what we mean as we say it.

2-Most definitely- Lately I have been using GrokAI, mostly the free version, but for about a week or two now the paid version. Grok has been helping edit my stories to get them ready for publishing, and I have been impressed and satisfied. For most problems that came up, I could get Grok back in line and they got fixed. But when we got to chapter 12 of The Trade, Grok had serious brainfarts and started telling me what it thought I wanted to hear instead of what I actually wanted. It even ignored direct instructions to give me what I was looking for. I haven't made it back yet, but I will later today or tomorrow.

3- Not yet that I know of.

4-I read the whole thing and didn't have a problem. I didn't even notice the jumbled title until you mentioned it. Someone else brought this point up a while back, I don't remember who.

5- The grammar checker, because my grammar is not good. But, there are times I override the grammar checker because of what I am trying to get across, and what it suggests doesn't do that.

Great Article, Andy.

i reda it al. bro im diclexoc and all that stuff. most of my natural grammer is a joke. back in the old ezinearticle days I had to wait up to 2 weeks for repeated editorial reviews approved:). But once approved some of those articles has insane CTR. AI is a huge time saver, but I do have to correct it interpretations often. I think if we spend the time with one AI getting to know our style, expectaions etc it near duplicate....???
