This week my question is;
Would you prefer to have flawless writing with the help of AI or Grammerly, or make do with your own effort that may not be perfect?
Sunday Poser # 305- Flawless writing with AI?
This is an interesting question for me because my relationship with language has never been quite straightforward.
English was my first spoken language, but when I started school in Norway, my first written languages became Norwegian — both Bokmål and Nynorsk.
And I have a confession that I’ve always been a little embarrassed about: I didn’t properly learn to read until late in third grade or the beginning of fourth grade.
Perhaps that’s one reason I’ve become such a perfectionist about my writing.
These days, I write almost every day. Poetry, stories, blog posts, lyrics — whatever decides to crawl out of my brain. 😂 And yes, I use grammar tools to help clean things up.
Give me the strange expressions, the occasional grammatical wobble and, most importantly, the typos.
Because sometimes a typo has plans of its own. 🤣
My most famous recent example happened when I accidentally wrote Arena 51.
Here on Fuerteventura, we have the Arena Negra music festival. Somewhere inside my brain, Arena Negra and the mysterious Area 51 apparently met, fell madly in love and had a baby.
Arena 51 was born. 👽😂
Instead of correcting it and forgetting about it, we started joking about it.
Then the joke became an idea.
The idea became lyrics.
And somehow my ridiculous little typo became an EDM track — “Arena 51 – The Calima Conspiracy”, being released on 2 October. 👽🎶
So perhaps flawless isn’t always better.
I’ll happily use technology to catch the missing commas, tidy up my grammar and point out the mistakes I don’t notice.
But I don’t want it to replace my own imagination or voice.
And every now and then, perhaps we should let a typo escape.
You never know when it might release a single. 🤣👽
