Listen "Confession: I Use AI"
Episode Synopsis
The single source is a blog post titled, "Confession: I Use AI," which discusses the author's historical involvement with artificial intelligence and their current practical application of AI in the writing process. Specifically, the author, Bry Willis, explains how they are using ChatGPT 5.1 as a manuscript editing tool, feeding it images of text to assist with tasks such as capitalisation and italicisation of key terms. The post illustrates several instances where the AI struggled with Optical Character Recognition (OCR) errors when analysing the screenshots, yet also exhibited signs of self-correction and introspection when comparing the image to the OCR output. Ultimately, the author considers this a late-stage use case but acknowledges the utility of the AI for editing and suggests future posts might cover its use in ideation and research.Blog: https://philosophics.blog/2025/11/13/confession-i-use-ai/
