A writing student asked me if it's okay to use AI to "structure" his ideas—not to "write" but "just to "structure."
Very gently, but with all the passion in my heart, I said, "No."
And then I spoke with him about why:
Structuring a piece of writing *is* writing. Imagine if whatever made the Universe had said, "I just need something else to structure all this stuff."
The act of structuring, of finding forms—whether it takes hours of inspiration or years of study (and it takes both)—is the unique chance to find out who you are, why you create, and what creation is.
Don't take that away from yourself. If you do, soon there will be nothing in you—nothing unique, nothing ancient, nothing new—to structure at all.
Hi @Spotify. An idea: while riding my bike I'm often not able to stop to add a song to my liked songs, so I find myself listening to it several times. What if a set number of repeats got it added to my liked songs so I could easily return to it later?
Ahora, años después del divorcio, cuando pensaba haber entendido mis pérdidas me sorprende descubrir que entre las mismas se encuentra mi copia en DVD de El Fantasma de la Ópera.
The audacity.
Fue un día hermoso y me alegró mucho participar del evento.
