When you lose the ability to write, you also lose some of your ability to think
&gt; Most people hate to write as much as they hate math. Way more than admit it<p>I fucking love writing. Most people I know also fucking love writing, and I do mean <i>love</i>. Some do it for pleasure, some do it as a career, others do it as a means to an end in their career, and they haven&#x27;t found value in LLMs.<p>There&#x27;s writing and <i>writing</i>. If all you&#x27;re doing is rewording what someone else has already done like a high school essay or a competing product description for what&#x27;s essentially the same product? An LLM will probably suffice. Original and novel? Human beings all the way.<p>LLMs highlight that a lot of &quot;knowledge work&quot; is intrinsically bullshit, i.e., a high school essay doesn&#x27;t actually assess somebody&#x27;s understanding of a topic, just their ability to hit specific keywords and points, hence even essay mills can churn out an &quot;original&quot; essay for a kid if they&#x27;re too xyz to do it themselves.<p>Whilst I don&#x27;t care for LLMs, I do support a huge shakeup of the existing educational assessment paradigm as it is self-evidently not fit for purpose, IMO.
