Read Original

This article challenges the stigma around AI-generated writing, arguing that the focus should be on whether the final text accurately represents the author's thoughts, not on whether every word was manually typed. The author draws a parallel to AI-assisted coding, where the outcome matters more than the process. They acknowledge the value of craft in writing but contend that for many purposes, prose is just a medium for conveying ideas. The piece also addresses the objection that 'writing is thinking,' suggesting that conversation with an AI can serve a similar externalization function. Ultimately, it advocates for judging writing by its substance and the author's endorsement, not its provenance.
