writing is hard! it requires discipline, determination, and persistence.

trying to palm it off to a computer has always struck me as a bizarre thing to do.

you're telling me this thing produced coherent writing but does not actually grasp any of its meaning?

writing is frequently a laborious process--and i think it has to be that way. i should be forced to consider my meaning.

we're cheapening the effect of the language we share with others by using AI. we are not really treating people as "ends in themselves".

to be sure, "automatic writing" is possible, but it is--despite what silicon valley says--unnecessary for mass human communication. automatic writing is also insufficient as a form of intelligence.
