Most cameras have AI for face and eye detection and cleaning up images. I use AI in my webcam for body tracking while streaming on YouTube, if preparing a video my editing software uses Ai to align soundtracks, noise removal and many behind the scenes processes that would otherwise take me a long time to do.
For written content creation I am wary of it as I find it is often under baked or overcooked - I despise it for image creation as I'm aware of how much it stole from creators to achieve what it does. The ethics of AI disturbs me a lot and yet I'm also aware of how useful it can be...
So many companies rush into AI adoption without considering the long term implications, and before you know it, they’re in a PR nightmare because their chatbot went rogue.
Thank you for the list of tools as well. I’ve had good experiences with Grammarly’s privacy focused approach, but I’m curious about Writer’s proactive stance on monitoring misuse.
What do you think about Claude? It doesn't allow me to swear but it's better than ChatGPT in my humble opinion.
Sorry for the late reply. I was out of town for a couple of days. I'm with you on the short-sightedness of companies. This page should answer your question about Writer's ethical stance: https://writer.com/blog/ai-ethics-for-businesses/.
I would likely use Claude all the time except that it can't see the web -- a limitation they need to overcome. Also, its Constitutional AI is ethically focused in that it follows ethical guidelines in its responses. Anthropic trained it to be "safe, honest, and harmless." This means Claude avoids harmful advice and facts. So, ethically, it's preferably over ChatGPT, but I need web access most of the time. But, I do use it in concert with ChatGPT often.
I appreciate the link about Writer's ethical stance - I'll check that out.
Interesting points about Claude. You're right that the lack of web browsing is a current limitation. I've found myself using Claude for creative writing, personal thinking, and deeper analysis, while turning to tools with web access for research-heavy tasks.

At times, it's our worst enemy and at others, our best friend. What a conundrum.

I hope you are having a good week Paul.

Happy Monday Paul
You never need to apologize - I totally get it ;)

So many choices, an overabundance of promises, and major decision fatigue.
True that!
