A short spoken reflection on how AI affects creative writing. The speaker describes using AI to rewrite their ideas in their style but feels that AI-produced writing ‘loses something’ of their personal essence, and warns that making creation too easy can reduce our capacity to stretch creatively.
By making things too easy, then this is the danger that we take away our capacity to stretch ourselves. So I think we want to get comfortable with what feels like a good stretch. So if it's on substack, if it's creative writing and I've chosen, I'm going to change how I do this. At the moment, the way I use AI is it'll be more my ideas, my thoughts that go into the articles. But I will get AI to relate it afterwards, to write it. Write in my style, and I don't like it. It loses something. It loses a little bit of essence somehow.
