When the Industrial Revolution came, people blamed machines. When calculators came, they said we would forget math. When computers came, they said we would stop working with our hands. In reality, the ones who learned to use computers replaced the ones who didn’t.
We used all these to enhance our lives. Now with AI, the same cycle repeats. Yes, people will blame AI and using AI for killing creativity. Lose our voice. That’s not real.
As long as a writer can think clearly and articulate an idea based on their own lived experience, nothing will replace them. LLMs don’t have sensory organs to feel the rain, smell the dust after it, or taste that first cup of black coffee in the morning. They can’t know heartbreak or the weight of silence in a room. They can only remix descriptions of it. LLMs also don’t think like humans. We sometimes get confused, create the complexities.
And hopefully, consciousness can’t be programmed into them. We need stories and human experience to keep our sanity and feel alive.
AI can enhance our work, take us to places we’ve never gone. But if we let AI to write on a topic and publish it without the core us in it, there’s no authenticity. Sometimes, I publish it raw to let the thoughts out. For eg. Routine and drunk ink and sober edits. Work on what best for you and helps you bring out of best you.
We voice can move through an LLMs. But it can’t be born from one.
The pen’s still yours, the blank screen’s still judging, and AI is just makes the stuff glow.
Cheers!
