The most important advantage of writing is that it helps us confront ourselves when we do not understand something as well as we would like to believe.
The way I see it, AI is already incredibly good at priming us while we’re writing. It can show us the way towards ideas that are adjacent to those we’re currently exploring, much better than we could see on our own.
When you have trouble writing, it’s usually because you don’t know what you’re trying to say. Most writing problems are actually thinking problems. And you can't copyedit your way out of poor thinking.
this is why AI tools are better at producing filler content / content marketing garbage and not unique thought. they divorce the act of writing from the process of thought itself.
Writing is a tool to reach beyond consensus. Write and write and write until you transcend the cliches and step into undiscovered territory
