program overview
An AI writing tool is like a good friend: you might ask them to review your work, but you’d never submit it before reviewing their changes.
AI is a great place to begin—but it’s not the best place to end. Its editing tools can still miss a fair amount and even change your intended meaning. (It loves to change verbs, and it loves a wordy prepositional phrase.)
Your best editor is you. You’re the only person who knows exactly what you’re trying to say. In this interactive program, Ben takes legal writing examples and puts them through AI writing tools. We look at what it catches, what it misses (and changes), and how to spot its editing patterns. He’ll show you how to use AI writing tools effectively so that you don’t ruin a good friendship.
Sample Topics:
concise writing vs. professional writing
maintaining your intended meaning
sentence variety
eliminating prepositions
words that AI sneaks in
Tips
Always check to ensure any verb AI changes has the same meaning as the original.
