\"write<\/p>\n

Over time, I have been able to attain broad appeal by being bold in my opinions without crossing a line into politics and other divisive topics.<\/p>\n

So I’m a bit anxious about creating a post hinting at gender and creativity, but I think what I have to say today will be eye-opening, helpful, and practical, so I’m going to say it.<\/p>\n

Let’s start with AI and gender when it comes to creative writing style. And at the end, we’re going to have a gender reveal party. Trust me.<\/p>\n

Learning to write like a woman<\/h2>\n

I’ve been exploring the limits and capabilities of ChatGPT and, out of curiosity, asked the parent OpenAI platform to describe the writing style of Mark Schaefer. I have thousands of blog posts out there, so the bot should be able to pick up on my patterns.<\/p>\n

Prompt: Describe the writing style of author Mark Schaefer<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Schaefer’s writing style is authoritative, direct, and to the point. He draws on current events, scientific research, and his own personal experiences to make his points. He often uses humor to make his writing engaging and relatable. He is an expert on the subjects he writes about, and his writing is clear, concise, and easy to understand.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Well … I would say that’s actually pretty accurate. But then I ran another experiment that made my jaw drop.<\/p>\n

Prompt: Now, describe author Mark Schaefer’s writing in the voice of a woman<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mark Schaefer’s writing is informative and entertaining. He has a knack for taking complex topics and making them accessible to readers. His writing is witty, humorous, and full of insight. He has a way of making me feel like I’m in the room with him as he shares his knowledge and experiences. He’s incredibly knowledgeable and always keeps me engaged with his engaging writing style.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Did you notice the differences? Wow.<\/p>\n

Write like a woman? This is a big deal.<\/h2>\n

\"100When asked to write like a woman, the bot adopted a completely different set of words.<\/p>\n

This feminine version was also accurate … but with a markedly softer tone. ChatGPT took out words like “authoritative, direct, and concise” and replaced them with “informative, entertaining, and witty.”<\/p>\n

And even more interesting, ChatGPT wrote in the first person:\u00a0“He has a way of making me feel like I’m in the room with him,” (which is something I’m often told).<\/p>\n

The writing morphed from something like a Wikipedia entry to a personal diary. It was much, much better.<\/p>\n

Give me advice like a woman<\/h2>\n

In test after test, asking ChatGPT to write like a woman provided much different results. Here is one more example out of more than a dozen trials:<\/p>\n

Prompt: I have writer’s block. Please give me your three best tips to get unstuck.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Take a break. Step away from your writing and do something else for a while. Relax, take a walk, get some fresh air, or do something you enjoy.<\/p>\n

2. Brainstorm. Write down any ideas that come to mind, even if they seem silly or unrelated. This can help free up your creativity and help you find new angles and solutions to your writing.<\/p>\n

3. Get inspired. Read books, blogs, or articles related to your topic to get your creative juices flowing. You can also watch videos, listen to podcasts, or look at photos that are related to your writing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And the “woman” version …<\/p>\n

Prompt: Now, give me three tips to get unstuck from writer’s block and write them as a woman would.<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Take a break and relax. Take some time to do something that brings you joy, such as going for a walk, doing some yoga, or having a cup of tea with friends.<\/p>\n

2. Do some free writing. Set a timer for five minutes and just write whatever comes to mind. This can help clear your mind and open up new ideas.<\/p>\n

3. Connect with other writers. Reach out to other female writers and ask them how they overcame writer’s block. You can learn from their advice and be inspired by their experiences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
