The excerpts on the right are all from Anne Lamott’s “Shitty First Drafts.” The excerpts on the left are ChatGPT’s responses to the prompt, “Explain that all writers write terrible first drafts and that doing so is an important part of the writing process.”
You can find the whole of ChatGPT’s response here. I sometimes like to ask students to compare the pieces before they know one is written by A.I. If that too is your preference, you will want to delete the information at the top of the page.
