fucking incredible quote from Cregger, a writer i admire:
"having your brain sucked into your phone for hours a day is *robbing you of the boredom* that is crucial to having ideas."
BRING 👏 BACK 👏 BOREDOM 👏
A new paper shows that AI does make your writing more homogenous—and it'll do the same even if you just ask it to edit your writing. Even weirder: it's not like it'll push you toward the voice of an average human, it'll push you toward a kind of AI-optimized voice that's subtly different from the way any people write.
One lesson from this story: how honest, consistent, and careful with national security the best reporters are compared to the people who always attack them.
