Most of us have worked our whole lives to be writers in some domain: Code, documentation, specifications, product requirements, corporate communication, etc.
If we don't want to be writers, then we have to be editors. And editing is an entirely different job and it's not an easy one. In many ways it's harder.
Especially when LLMs love writing novels when all we need is a short story or less.
- bluefirebrand 14d agoA big part of the reason I'm deeply resentful of AI is that I want to be an artist not an editor
- asplake 13d agoCan you be one without the other? Serious question – I’ve written five books, and the first draft was like 5% of the work.
- bluefirebrand 12d agoSure. But I still want to do that 5%, because that's the part I enjoy the most. :/
