The actual art of creating writing. Not the art of thinking and story telling. I'm just saying that the whole process of wordsmithing, editing, and producing writing has essentially been made instant and cheap. Emailing coworkers and summarizing topics has never been easier. Most writing is bureaucratic anyway.
There will never be a replacement for human ingenuity and creativity.
I might not be communicating my idea right - essentially, the bottom end of the writing bell curve has been pushed down to free and nearly instant. Art was the wrong term because the high end writing will always be human.
Yes, exactly. When you said the art of writing, I took that to mean something different. Those lower levels of writing are easily farmed out to AI.
Like especially if I was a young student these days (10-18) it would have been completely world breaking. Almost all of that work in school is made to be AI-farmed.
The implications are so huge and I've been underestimating it. Even just the fact that anything now COULD be AI changes things.
I suppose the promise is that if we can farm these tasks out, it will give people more time to be creative, to work on higher level tasks and we will flourish. Golden age. Where have I heard this before? I have my doubts. It may just free people up to do worst things with their time, procrastinate more, and become slovenly.
Could definitely be true. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
Ah, I thought you meant storytelling. My bad. I agree with you. 😂
There is certainly parts of writing that could be considered monotonous, but there are second and third order effects; The calculator has democratized accounting, but most people have forgetten basic arithmetic. How's your handwriting these days?
Because of their reliance on automation, I worry that current and future generations will have both limited vocabulary, and mastery of syntax or grammar.
Will they be able to read and comprehend past works like Mises?
Could they create works of similar depth and understanding?
Much is lost when work becomes outsourced.
I make no moral attribution to these changes. I'm not sure if they are net good or bad. They just are obvious and huge.
