    You mean people who haven’t been taught to write quickly, easily, and with their own style tend to look to automate writing faster than those who write better than ai, can do so quickly, and have the proficiency to see it as a form of self expression?

    Shocked I tell you. Also not surprised AI researchers are surprised

    People bad at math use calculators. People with bad handwriting prefer to type. Weak people use levers. Slow people rely more on wheels. Its like were a bunch of tool using primates or something.

    This does not sound good for those people. Writing is a way of thinking. AI writing assistants are competitive cognitive artifacts. People who use AI to write most of their written communication will get worse at thinking through writing.

      Hey this that you’re doing is called gate keeping.

      We got multiple versions of these every time a new tech comes along.

      People defending typewriters. Or learning Latin. Or something better than a quill and jar of ink. Or paper being affordable.

      Just. Stop.

          I mean, books did make us worse at memorizing. I think its give and take. There are some things that are good to cognitively offload to an AI.

    I always use AI to write texts.

    I am to fucking lazy to write more than keywords 😆.

    I let it format into a proper text and tell it what it should adjust. That is one task AI is very good in (way better than myself).

    For me, it is the faster approach, but I always tend to write with enormous information density (which is disliked by many people somehow) anyway.

    I personally prefer the shortest wording with most information to read, so I sometimes let AI summarise.
