    Good writers (good anythings, really) focus on honing their craft and tackling new challenges, not trying to figure out how to use a specific technology to do things they already know how to do, for the sole purpose of using that technology.

    Let me address this to everyone. If the person you’re hiring is asking themselves, “How can I use AI to . . ?” and not “Would AI even help me to . . . ?” then they’re wasting your time and money.

      What an interesting and extremely limiting perspective. I’m not a in the writing industry, I’ll do my best.

      Two writers write the same article, beginning at the same time. One uses a quill, ink and blotting paper. The other, vi. Is the one using a PC less of a writer for using the tool to make it easier?

      The pc crashes so they end up finishing the article at the same time anyway.

      The handwritten one is then delivered to an editing teams intray. The pc one, is thrown to an AI for preliminary editing, and instantly the writer checks/corrects edits. Repeat as necessary and submit for approval.

      There is room for AI in writing, but I think writing by only humans will be more diverse and therefore enjoyable.

      e: somehow dragged a line to the wrong place… Need an editor :p
