That's the problem with AI now - it's gotten so good that you find a good piece of writing suspiciously like AI. I wonder if we will edit our work to sound like a good AI piece reads like - and thus never sound like ourselves. I was reading about an author who was rejected from a magazine because they believed his article was so well written it must be AI, even though he hadn't ever used it. Such is the world we live in.
I love how you capitalise 'blips' - yes, we are often important in small ways. That's the 'scheme of things' - an expression to say how we fit in the larger pattern of life, I suppose.
A fantastic musing, and I really enjoyed it.
Thank you for the compliment.
But am concerned there is possibility that originality won’t be measured by depth or honesty anymore, but by detectable imperfection. If we start editing ourselves to avoid sounding TOO GOOD, we’re not just reacting to AI, instead we are letting it redefine what authenticity looks like. This is similar to what a professor in my school said. He said that maybe the real challenge ahead isn’t showing that we didn’t use AI, but standing our ground and saying that clear thinking, care, and good writing are still human things.
Welcome to the era where sounding smart gets you side eyed.
