Here I am armed with my dictionary and thesaurus (fine, they’re Google tabs, but the spirit is there), ready to roll. Meanwhile, kids these days are out there letting AI tools reshape and rewrite their thoughts into something that no longer shows their personality or originality. (Please read on to see how I found that out.)
I never gave Copilot a thought, nor was I aware of its usage or meaning, until my daughter's friend witnessed me Googling where punctuation goes when parentheses appear (my personal grammar nemesis). She suggested I try Copilot. The look on my face? A perfect blend of confusion, suspicion, and, “did she seriously suggest this right now?” I felt an eye‑roll form. Why would I ask a GPS such a question when I clearly wasn’t looking for directions to go somewhere?
She explained - I investigated. And each time I dug a little deeper, I couldn’t help but think of the movie, "HER" starring Joaquin Phoenix (ACK!). Let’s just say I’ll stick with my GPS for directions from point A to point B with necessary bathroom breaks in between and continue doing things the “old‑school” way - my way. I'll continue taking pride in knowing my work is just that - MY WORK!
