Writing is how I sense-make and learn. If I delegate writing to AI, then how do I continue to learn? Without personal research, experience, struggle and insight, how does what is written become part of who I am?

Isn't the danger that writing and the knowledge it both draws on and generates become a closed system over time? Without exploration and the addition of new knowledge, won't that system ultimately fail, narrowing rather than expanding our perspective? Then what? Will people still have the capacity to write, think for themselves and learn?

The same applies to all creative activities that are being outsourced to AI. Tools are useful. They always have been, from the plough to the printing press to the steam engine (with environmental caveats) to the computer. But shouldn't they assist and enable rather than replace our ability to make sense of the world, to communicate, innovate and create?

Setting aside the factual inaccuracies, the writing I have seen generated by AI so far may be reasonably well punctuated, but it is bland, colourless, homogenous. It doesn't prompt wonder or curiosity.

Boredom. The first step towards human inertia.
