Oliver ReichensteinDealing with ChatGPT, I have an increasingly clear idea of how l need and want to write. It's as if *real writing* required *artificial writing* to become a solid notion. Or maybe it's along what Baudrillard said about Disney Land: it exists to make us believe that society is real. (Quoted from memory). ChatGPT made me think about the difference between real and simulated understanding. Still, I get an increasingly clear idea of what #writing needs to be. Never saw it in such strong light.
Let me try to put the idea into words: To me, writing has to be done so carefully that we feel and mean every word we express. We do not ever want to waste people's time with vague rambles or clever lies. Writing needs to be as short as possible but not shorter. And while writing is painful, especially at the beginning, when the thought is delicate and not yet clear enough, if ever possible, writing needs to be done with humor, it cannot be completed without us enjoying it either.
I worked on the latest article on Writing and AI with this strong concept in mind that I need to make sure that I write what I feel and, that at the same time I have a clear idea what I want to say and that don't get lost in 99 ideas as I usually do (ended up with 9 ideas). That I need to enjoy writing it because otherwise no one could enjoy reading it. https://ia.net/topics/the-end-of-writing-ia-on-ai I want to continue walking down that path.
