“AI-generated writing has stagnated. It still produces output that takes so long to edit that a human may as well have written it in the first place. It hasn’t reached a level where it could replace even a semi-skilled writer, especially in long-form content. All it has really achieved is allowing people to push out more quantity, with less thought, less craft, and with a huge sacrifice on quality.
I’ve said before that I think generative AI is killing creativity because it side-steps the craft needed to do something like write well. As a result, its biggest success has been to amplify the inherent laziness found in wannabe creators and bad actors and to give boardroom execs a way to cut out the “cost” of creativity — the humans who produce it.”
These podcasts are read by the author, me, Stephen Moore, and give you another way to digest my newsletter (subscribe here).
For now, as I find my feet, the podcast episodes are going to release the day after the newsletter goes live, and will be free for all subscribers for now. The eventual plan is to move this to a paid bonus for paid subscribers, but I’ll update you all in due course.
Let me know your thoughts. Suggestions for improvements — if friendly and constructive — are welcome.
