Just write

Right. Just write. A thought that has been circling my mind. With the advancement of AI, writing seems to become less of a priority to most people. State a purpose, sketch some outline and AI can draft an entire essay within minutes. 

Polished, errorless but somehow also lacking a lil something. A sense of human-ness I call it. The way we write, the way we unintentionally weave in some nonsense in between, digress and back to the point again. 

Just like the way we would chat in a lighthearted manner. 

I mean, I do enjoy the gains that AI has brought forth at work. No more spending hours crafting one email but I know I will always favour reading a human written story over an AI generated one. It’s mastery of craft. 

Just like how movies, music created by human will be distinctly different from machine generated. It’s the details, the nuances, the way a singer conveys emotions through his voice and the way a director conveys subtitle messages of life through movies. The ability to express and connect is uniquely human. 

Will we lose this ability to just express without the use of AI? 

I hope not. 

So here I am, hoping to pen this post, serving as a reminder. 

Just write.
