Thanks for this important piece. I'll fess up, I was one of the people spreading this specific "nugget" of information, potentially after first coming across your earlier piece and then seeing it shared so often in infographic form elsewhere.

I have now gone through three of my past posts discussing GPT-4 to update them accordingly!

Also, I noticed you've added "Why Try AI?" to your list of recommendations. I'm truly humbled. Thank you for putting my dilettante-level blog on your radar. I appreciate it!

Of course Daniel, thank you for recommending The Algorithmic Bridge in the first place :)

I'm the first who made that mistake, the important thing is correcting it!!

Thank you for honesty and integrity! Very rare nowadays.

Can I ask a rather backstage question - what's the role of GPT or GPT-like tools in your writing process? Do you use them, or not at all? And if yes - how?

Whenever I've used them I've disclosed it and always has been as a means to explore the very tools I'm using, like here: https://thealgorithmicbridge.substack.com/p/i-co-wrote-this-with-an-ai-writing or here: https://thealgorithmicbridge.substack.com/p/ai-has-an-invisible-misinformation

Thanks Borys, and good question.

I don't use them *at all*, not because I don't see any usefulness in them but simply because they don't fit into my writing process (even if they fitted I think I wouldn't use them for reasons I've expressed here: https://thealgorithmicbridge.substack.com/p/everyone-is-wrong-about-ai-writing).
