I appreciate the honesty. I remember you acknowledging the role of AI in your writing a few months ago. And many, many of your essays are unforgettable keepers that I greatly value and share. I read them all with interest. With that said, I would still prefer the person alone. There are many types of writing, I know. And speed is important. But I believe something is lost, for both author and reader, when the human mind and creative spirit become accustomed to a crutch. The oddity, the unique, the original, the unpolished stone, the human. That’s what I crave.
