Writing Assistance with ChatGPT
General
Thesaurus Applications - Not only can it help find new words, ChatGPT can also suggest a different way of phrasing and style choices that a simple thesaurus just cannot do. To properly prompt your question to receive the best results, emphasize the context of the word/phrase you want reworded.
Example: "I want a more formal way to express 'the project ran out of money and had to stop,' ideally something that would fit in a business report."
Find Inspiration - An excellent way to use ChatGPT is through the use of its unlimited ability to generate prompts and ideas for you to get started. Even if you already have an idea, it can help fine-tune and refine your ideas. Be specific in your prompting to get the best possible result.
Example: "I'm interested in writing a science fiction story, but I need some ideas for unique futuristic technology that could play a central role."
Paper Writing
Cite Your Work - ChatGPT is an excellent resource for citing your professional writing, if used correctly. It can help make any source or website into a citation. To use ChatGPT in this way, ensure you specify the citation style you need. Additionally, you can ask it to insert in-text citations at certain sentences for you.
Example: "Could you help me cite this web page in APA format: _________"
Create Outlines - ChatGPT can help you create clear and concise topic outlines for starting your paper. As long as you provide ChatGPT with main topics or ideas for your paper and ask it to make an outline in a specific format (e.g., Informative, persuasive), you should achieve your desired results.
Example: "I'm writing a persuasive essay on the benefits of renewable energy. Could you create a detailed outline?"
