Why I write in era of LLM
2024-12-11
This is my first online writing which I will be documenting beneath my personal space. I write in bullet points and in a very concise way. In the current stage of my life, I don’t like writing because LLMs can do it for us. Then why bother to write when you can just prompt anything, and it will be better than your draft?
But I know that it lacks depth, nuance, and anecdotes.
I am starting to write here because of the reasons below. This list of reasons are for me so I can look back to them again in future and see what I was thinking in that phase of life, and align if needed.
I want to share my experience with life/tech/different domains here. It is an online documentation of my thought process. I don’t want to impress others with the blogs but to merely share what I got to know in some process.
I want to have a personal brand which supports my case in hiring. It should come out as I have domain knowledge and I am curious about stuff and I am good fit for a role.
Networking is one more reason I am doing it. I connect with those people whose writing I resonate with most. So in hope of connecting with different people and building a life long connection with them, I am pursuing this writing.
People say writing improves one’s critical thinking and communication skills when they write. Hence I am starting this. I am thinking of first writing my draft without any LLM help to get the theme and writing style correct. At the end, I will be checking it through an LLM for improvement and also listing down in my blog so next time I avoid those pitfalls. I’ll see if I can find more methods to improve my writing.
Writing about what inspired me to start, the roadblocks I hit, and that time I nearly gave up (or a small win that kept me going) helps me see my own arc. It’s raw, real, and keeps me grounded.
I will going to share what I have learned in my journey.
I will try to zoom out and share bigger picture for the things I am writing about.
That’s it for now.
Writing Improvement Tips For Self
- Ensure verbs match the subject (e.g., “I resonate,” not “I resonates”).
- Use periods to separate independent thoughts.
- Use commas and conjunctions to connect related ideas.
- Ensure articles are included before nouns when needed.
- Avoid switching between “you,” “one,” and “I” in the same context.
- Make sure each sentence conveys a complete thought.
