please do not use llms to actually write your blogs. we can absolutely tell. and it means: 1. I don't trust what you're saying (or at least I don't trust any purported 'insight') 2. I don't feel like I'm listening to you (normally I _like_ listening to nuance) 👉 shorter, imperfect yet real👌

I think, like CGI in films, that kind of writing will age poorly ... but my point isn't about 'purity' – if you can write well with the aid of LLMs, then do so! but most people, currently, cannot.

As a former animator for both Disney and Dreamworks who went through the transition from hand-drawn to CGI, I can tell you it’s 100% the person behind the machine. 3D animators eventually got so good that there was stuff they could do that 2D couldn’t even dream of. Their CGI outperformed us 2D…

Also there are some people who have trouble expressing themselves through writing. AI gives them the tools they didn’t have before. Most 3D animators can’t draw to save their lives—us 2D anims thought that would be the “moat” — it wasn’t! (Thankfully btw).
