Wow, yes, a very thoughtful and on first reading compelling argument. Also, a (to me) new and deeper look at the Narcissus myth and its relevance. Bookmarked for repeat-reading!

Intensive use of AI tools changes the user and makes them speak _to_ and _for_ the AI, and that in turn changes the person's subtle pre-conscious germination of ideas and makes them lose creative spaces within themselves:

An important essay. Thank you for the link.

Very. I think a lot about the ever popular ‘it’s just a tool’ talking point, and how that inadequately explains its effect on the creative process.
