When I am writing, I sometimes get a prompt to write with Co-pilot. I assume it is some form of AI assistance, but so far I have not used it.

This week I went online to get more information on this writing “tool.”

Here’s what I found:

The goal of Micro-soft is to aid writers in setting up their pages and drafts, simplifying their work processes, and saving them time. It can improve the PowerPoint experience for readers, create lists and pages in OneNote, organizes content, gives suggestions, and so on.

So why do I resist this kind of time-saving help? 

Like a lot of you, I’m wary of any kind of AI “help.” It just feels like “cheating” to me. After all, how will I know where I “end” and Co-pilot begins?

What if Co-pilot takes all of the fun and creativity out of my writing?

I’ll probably remain on the fence on this one for some time. Please share your experiences with AI and the writing process.
