Nick Fisher explains why most writing projects fail before they start: writers lose direction because they don't know what they're missing. The real problem isn't blocked ideas but unclear structure. He traces how AI writing tools evolved from GPT-2 through Jasper, crediting early demos that showed what was possible.
The biggest pain that I experienced was not knowing what I didn't know. Like not understanding how important it is not just learn how to write well, but also how to structure, to inform.
Well, that makes sense. So it's really like, makes me think that that's maybe where writer's block actually stems from. It's not the idea that you sit down and you don't know what to write. It's almost the question of where do I go from here? And I feel like I've. Like I'm in the forest and doing circles and I don't know where I've went and where I'm going kind of thing. I've lost the path entirely.
When you look at AI, which came along, there's some fun stories about that time period. Right on the crux of GPT3.5. I was getting started when it was still GPT2. And then 3 comes to life. This is right before Jasper and all those guys. And I've worked with them before. But what it demonstrated to me, and in fact, Nick, I'll give you credit here, you were the first one to show me through Jasper. I think it was the mechanism of that kind of interactive overlay of the API stuff.
I never saw it like you earlier, you were actually earlier than me because GPT2, I was like, oh, that's cool. But it's too technical for me to even realize the benefit of it.
