ChatGPT – the sleek natural language processing tool has become a buzzword in many fields. While some people are looking at it as a blessing, some are panicking over its potential capabilities. Especially, many human writers are worrying that the AI tool will take their jobs in the near future. They shouldn’t be worried though, since, well, the human mind is the powerhouse of thoughts and creativity, whereas, ChatGPT is a tool created for human convenience.

Let’s break down the differences between human writers and AI-driven ChatGPT and find out who ultimately wins the game of writing –

Uniqueness

ChatGPT – ChatGPT cannot produce new ideas that haven’t hit the internet yet. That means it can’t discover ideas without the help of the internet. And as much as we use the internet, it’s not everything. There are things outside the internet that the ChatGPT can’t produce. Whatever it provides, is from what it knows from the internet. The AI tool is a result of sophisticated algorithms and the vast amount of data it has been fed. It can provide solutions or answers in writing based on the information that is already in its database. But when it comes to creating anything entirely unique, it’s quite incompetent.

So, while it can mimic a writing style that already exists, it can’t create a new style or sentence pattern.

Human writers – On the other hand, human writers can certainly create unique ideas. The human brain has the ability to think in any situation and create ideas or invent solutions from the scratch. It’s a unique human brain power that AI does not possess yet.

Emotion

ChatGPT – Creativity comes from passion – an emotion that ChatGPT still hasn’t acquired yet. While you can instruct the AI tool to generate poems, stories, etc., and get results as well, it won’t be as authentic as human creations. So even if it can try to mimic famous poets like William Wordsworth, or Robert Frost, it can’t really get the emotions right. The AI does not work out of emotion. The output is the result of language pattern training, analysis, and a vast dataset.

Human writers – Humans are naturally emotional creatures. Our brains are inherently emotional as it is logical. With our passion and creativity, we can thread stories, and write poems that can emotionally attract the readers. We can be motivated by our beliefs, and personal experiences, which we pour into our writing. And these things make our writing style emotionally unique.

Perspective

ChatGPT – ChatGPT cannot produce anything based on its past experience, or beliefs. Mainly, because the AI tool doesn’t have any personal experience or beliefs. Rather, it generates outcomes based on training and statistical analytics. ChatGPT can recognize patterns and with the help of the large dataset, it can pretend to have a perspective, but that perspective is not it’s own.

Human writers – Contents produced by human writers can move readers emotionally and interest them solely because they are created from different perspectives. Humans write from their own beliefs, cultural perspectives, and unique motives – a few things that make human perspectives interesting and different from others.

Conclusion

Uniqueness, emotion, and perspective – these three things play huge roles in writing, which is an advantage that human writers have over ChatGPT. So, if a human writer writes from his own perspective, using his own words and emotion, the result will be much better than ChatGPT’s content.
