ChatGPT-
To further expand my vocabulary and find alternative ways to express ideas, I also used ChatGPT. Whenever I felt that a word or phrase could be stronger, I would ask for suggestions or synonyms. ChatGPT provided me with a wider range of vocabulary options, allowing me to replace simpler words with more varied or nuanced alternatives. Additionally, I used it to help me better articulate complex ideas, making my writing more polished and professional.
