Nah, there's an admin request thread in the mod forum so any admin could do it. This sort of thing was a lot easier when we had vyelkin around though.

I do not use ChatGPT to write posts. That�s as obscene an accusation as antisemitism.

My workflow is fairly simple,

I keep notes open, so I can dictate or type into a running doccument

and I use references from pdfs on my icloud

Because I�m on my phone, I can�t see if the formatting is weird when using block quotations because some pdfs do not account for different column widths, and indeed the column widths as I see them on an iPhone are far more condensed than what PC users see. Other pdfs do not merge broken words that the editor of the book, either scanned or deliberately published as a pdf, has employed hyphenation for. This is frustrating as you should never do hyphenation manually, obviously, but you have to undo hyphenation manually on iPhone.

So, for smaller quotes I�ll go through myself but for very long ones, or pdfs that are particularly hosed up when highlighted and copied from iPhone into notes, say there�s no spacing between words for pages and pages, I will occasionally use ChatGPT to correct the formatting before double checking it myself. The same goes for other really weird text encoding issues, mostly with text written in foreign languages where the characters - I�m thinking of � - aren�t recognized correctly. Scans of very old books where ſ is used take forever to clean up. There is also one academic publisher that encodes pdfs in a Caesar cypher, you can imagine what that�s like.

My posts on ChatGPT specifically said it was unusable for what I write, that I�ve tinkered with it and never gotten the results I wanted, other than amusing myself with pastiche, that its academic writing was poor, and that the best result I have gotten out of it was outlines of provided text - which I might skim, but as you can see in my use of long form quotes and paraphrase written in my own voice (or rather spoken when dictated), make no mistake about authorship.

Finally,

btw you might try Drafts instead of Notes: https://getdrafts.com

it is better for plain text, has regex, syntax highlighting; programmable... I have a slightly buggy syntax and action group I wrote for savbb code I could send. people also made custom action groups to de-hyphenate and perform similar transforms useful for OCR.

you can really do a lot on your phone these days. ive used a combo of QuickScan, Drafts, and Shortcuts to OCR an un-OCR'ed, poorly scanned book PDF, clean up the OCR, and add it as a layer back onto it.

Much appreciated. I'll check those out.

I was thinking of getting a smart pen so I can handwrite notes like normal and it will be transcribed into text in Word or whatever. Does anyone have experience using them?

e: Another upside, if someone looks into my office it would look like I'm writing notes all day instead of loving around on my phone.

I spent my posting vacation doing research for the pop culture thread. If you want to wait until next week, you�ll have more to do. I�m still taking notes on George Bernard Shaw and Lerner and Loewe, for example, but I�ll probably know enough to post next week.

I think Connor Roy may be a Holy Fool in the Arthurian tradition, like Percival. I just need to wait for the hardcopy of T.H. White's Troubled Heart: Women in The Once and Future King that I put in for through work to come in, because Lady Caroline Alexandra Helena St John Collingwood is a good fit for TH White�s mother from what I remember, and so Morgause (or maybe Mordred?). Once I have that, I think the rest will come together.

Succession > Not Shakespeare > What is it then? > Irma la Douce/My Fair Lady/Gigi > Shavian > 19th century marriage and class > Victorian medievalism > Arthurian cycle > The Holy Fool as deserving of love and redemption.

I think what clinched it was the Italy arc in S3, because then I could use The Arthur of the Italians: The Arthurian Legend in Medieval Italian Literature and Culture and I think it works.
