In November 2022, the internet went crazy over the release of ChatGPT by OpenAI. ChatGPT is the latest AI content writing tool promising to write essays, articles, emails, and more with a simple prompt. Sophisticated AI content writing tools have been on the market for the past couple of years and, like any new technology that claims to mimic human skills, have provoked a lot of concern and controversy.

It very much feels as though we are living in A Brave New World.
However, AI content writing tools are just that: tools to make the job more efficient. Carpenters use tools every day to build tables and chairs, but their maker’s mark doesn’t say, “built by a hammer.” Leo Tolstoy no doubt consulted one or two dictionaries when producing the world’s greatest works of literature, but he didn’t name the dictionary as a co-author.
In this article, we’ll discuss three different AI content writing tools and talk about how you can use them to make your writing process more efficient.Â

However you choose to use these tools, one fact remains: all writing, human- or AI-generated, should be edited and proofread. AI can provide false information, and humans misspell words and forget commas. Always take the time to review a piece of writing or a document before you publish it to make sure it’s of the highest quality. If you don’t have time, find an editorial desk who can do it for you!
