The deliberate conscious effort that we humans require to do anything, like make art or write an academic paper, has been belittled and glossed over.

Instead results are glamorously prized as the product of success, and the amount of effort that it took to get there is hidden away in shame.

AI is the obscene extreme to that mentality: not more thinking, effort, work, anything— get the result now. While it was that exact effort that made us human in the first place.

Even writing this post took cognitive effort.

I put words down but they didn't have the weight or meaning I had in my mind, looked for synonyms that more accurately represented what I wanted to convey. Then tried to rewrite and rearrange it to something more coherent.

The process was not effortless, but that is the point.

@Ameboid You're a poet. An almost extinct specie. But maybe thanks to your choice of words there could be more !
Grok (et al) are less known for its quality poetry than its unsavory pictures.
