Don't Delegate Thinking

“Start a post, try writing with AI”, a prompt on LinkedIn invites.

Thanks, LinkedIn, but I would rather not.

I write when I feel the need to construct an argument, to tell a story, to test whether a chain of reasoning makes sense. Putting it down on a piece of paper and reading it back to myself after a moment is the first assessment of its quality.

This is why I need to do the writing myself. If I cannot express it, I cannot explain it. And if I cannot explain it, I don’t really understand it. The clarity of thought I achieved is probably insufficient.

Delegate your writing to a model and you will delegate your thinking to a model. And if you delegate your thinking - its quality will slowly deteriorate, like an muscle in atrophy.
