The Writer vs. AI

The Writer vs. AI

Since the advent of chatGPT, the best captions and hook have been centred around what AI has come to destroy. ‘AI will take your jobs’, ‘AI will replace writers’,’ AI will do this’, ‘AI will do that’.

What I have not heard of is, AI experiencing pain, so much pain, that it develops the ability to encapsulate high tension emotions in words. Words that transfer the same essence of grave pain to its readers. What i have not heard is AI being hurt and disappointed so many times by its own ambitions and endeavours that it loses all will power and strength to forge ahead, that it bears the same burdens over and over, that it becomes so numb as to feeling the vibrations of life, that AI looks upon its friends, family and well wishers and feels nothing, because it’s only hope of survival is feeling nothing, for the moment it opens up its heart to accept the reality, it would be consumed by it thereof.

What I still have not heard, is that AI would experience the shredding hope of heart-in-mouth- anxiety-fear-expectation when it’s wife is in labor, how that it encouraged itself to stretch its hands and legs while breathless to finish the race, how that it felt its heart pound when its lover walked into the room and how it prayed to its maker when it came to the end of it self and experienced a miracle, a miracle to great it was scared to tell a soul about it.

A writer is not one who scrambles words to be read, a writer is one who encapsulates experiences and emotions in ways that whoever reads, would experience and feel what was intended. You see, when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable. AI was made to ‘aid’, so you become a better writer when you embrace it’s purpose. In essence, collaborating with AI as a writer is the way, not competing with it.

TECHNICAL WRITING — INSTRUCTION MANUAL. (TEMPLATE)

TheKiwiWriter — Fri, 02 Jun 2023 17:49:19 +0000

If this were to be the usual technical article, you would need to give an introduction, however, seeing that this is a user manual, and the reader must have bought the equipment needed and is at the point of setting it up would have to go straight to the point, you need to keep everything simple, and straightforward. So here is an example — how to set up a home wifi, taking starlink as the case study.

Open the Starlink kit box: The Starlink dish, a power wire, a Wi-Fi router, and a mounting tripod are all included.

Locate a Good Spot: Find a spot with a clear view of the sky on your land, especially away from any obstacles like trees or high structures. An unobstructed line of sight to the satellites is necessary for Starlink.

Assemble the Dish: To assemble the satellite dish and tripod mount, refer to the instructions included in the Starlink Kit. Make sure the tripod is firmly linked to the dish.

Place the Dish in the Selected Location: Place the tripod-mounted dish there. To align the dish with the satellites, change its angle and orientation. By offering real-time feedback on the signal strength, the Starlink app or website may assist you with this procedure.

Connect the power to your Starlink dish. Connect the dish to an electrical outlet using the power cord.

Connect the dish to your Starlink router. Connect the router and dish together using the Ethernet cable.

Activate the Starlink router. The router will launch immediately and start looking for satellites.

Get the Starlink application. Both iOS and Android phones and tablets can download the Starlink app.
Launch the Starlink app, then log in. You must register for an account and fill up your Starlink account details.
To complete the setup process, adhere to the instructions in the Starlink app. You may use the app to get instructions on setting up your Wi-Fi network and connecting your devices to the internet.

Alternatively, you can get the images of the procedures(and put the following accordingly) to make the instructional manual more precise and simpler.

-Set up equipment (Starlink, WiFi router, power supply, cables, and base.)

-Download app (play store or app store)

-Set up the app

-Let it configure itself

-Set wifi name and password
