Great observation. I had a similar conversation on literature with my wife. She prophesied the end of authors "because ChatGPT can do it all now, everyone will be using it." I have a different prophesy, sure, there'll be a proliferation of mediocre work, but we'll also see a new crop of authors that are more creative and unexpected than ever—because that will be the only way to stand out. LLMs can only remix what has been made already. Only human can take the leap and make something new.
David. Your discussion is difficult for me to imagine. I, for example, use ChatGPT to edit my own writing in the style I taught it for the particular target of the article. I then correct my original piece based upon the results. Otherwise I find the edits to be mediocre. I also, of course, use it for research. How can I use AI more meaningfully in the way you allude to?
You could ask ChatGPT to critique your post, to identify weak logical steps. You could ask it to be a stubborn reader that disagrees with your point and simulate the comment they'd made.

Yes. The same happened when desktop publishing and video editing became easy to use. It created a legion of creators who used this ease to excel.
Very interesting article! Great job!
Artists once invoked the Muses for inspiration. Today, for better or worse, creators can invoke AI.

Nice idea. Thank you Gio.
