Exploring Generative AI

 I explored Microsoft Copilot this week. After doing some generative AI research I realized that I've been using some tools for a while at work and with my class work. I for some reason thought it was an expensive tool that I would never access. My first experience utilizing generative AI was with Grammarly and then Quilbot. I'm always worried about my writing skills and my daughter introduced me to these two technology tools. I could write how I normally write, poorly, and run it through either of the two tech tools, change the tone, correct misspellings, and clarify my writing. I felt more confident with my writing after using them but it is time-consuming. I'm a worry wort and would prof everything it generated, and sometimes I would only use a few sentences or synonyms in my final piece. It wasn't until this week's assignment that I used Microsoft Copilot. My phone and email prompt me to use Microsoft Copilot but I've resisted using it up until now. I felt like I would get in trouble because it has been in the news a lot and I didn't fully understand all it's capable of or what I should use it for.

After playing around with Microsoft Copilot I know it will take me a while before I feel comfortable using it with my school work, projects at work or my personal life. I see Copilot as a resource but do not want to get in any plagiarism situations. 

Please share your experience with generative AI, your input is always welcome here!
