let's never stop writing! (this is both a compliment because your writing is extremely efficient and compelling; and an encouragement to beat AI's ass together)!!!!!
thank you so much for writing this. it's sharo, contemplative, and so right. we do have to be more intentional and thoughtful with our approach towards being informed and educated.
Thank you very much for reading and sharing your thoughts 🙌🏽 i agree, efficiency is always nice, but it shouldnt come at the cost of our critical thinking and learning abilities
I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and I noticed how true it is because now everything can be found in summarized answers by the AI, there's no need to go looking for more articles or websites, and the answers are all through the same (the tone). We as writers should never writing, we may evolve, everyone has to, but never stop writing and reading.
I wholeheartedly agree! I think even though these tech bros keep shoving AI art, texts, and videos down out throats and boasting about 'efficiency', it's all the more reasons for us to keep writing, keep being creative, and learn on our own!

Hello, it's nice to know someone in the same field who's also feeling meh towards AI. Thank you for reading my work and commenting. I've subscribed back 🙌🏽
Omg Karina, this is so good and so so true!! This is such an insightful take, and I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for writing this and putting this into words. You are so talented!!
a lot to think about honestly! and yes we're not writing for readers anymore. it more writing for the algorithm that writes for the readers gosh and somewhere in that loop, the actual human vanishes...this was one of the sharpest things i've read these days. thank you for this, i really enjouy the way you write 🤍
Hi, thank you very much, this is such a high praise 🥹 and you worded it so well! Whatever it is we're making right now, we have to take the algorithm into consideration, choosing the right keywords, the right trends, etc. I know that it cant be helped, it is what it is, but it's painful to see how much the algorithm affects our creativity and that connection between artists/writers and their audience. Once again thank you so much for reading my work 🙌🏽
Thank you SO much for writing this, it's such an important topic. I feel as though we are collectively becoming more stupid and I am so glad some people still care, x.
Thank you as well for reading 🙌🏽 and honestly i agree 🤡 I wish i can say otherwise but it's true that people's critical thinking, attention span, and media literacy are on a decline. It's honestly scary… but i have hope that some of us still have the desire to learn things the right way
What an insightful piece! I really enjoyed it, though enjoyed might not be the right word, given how concerning it is, especially in how it explores the effects of LLMs on the way we read and write. This part I found particularly unsettling: “But a 2025 study comparing the effects of LLMs versus web search found that when search becomes faster and easier, people read less, compare fewer sources, and think less on their own. As a result, learning becomes shallower because people engage less actively with information.”
Honestly, this made me wonder whether it’s almost inevitable that we’re heading toward a future where AI writes for AI to read (what?!), while humans and human critical skills gradually fade out of the equation altogether... Scary!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful comment! Personally, i think the future of content will be a bit nuanced. I can see the loop of AI system processing AI generated content happening, but I believe there's still going to be people that write their content on their own (like authors or journalists), or at least, refine and review AI-generated drafts. Though i think their number would be fewer compared to people who generated contents with AI without further refinements.
Not too sure on critical skills though :") i think it is inevitable that the knowledge gap would grow bigger, unless they implement stricter regulations for LLMs. Which is why i think it's even more important now to read, learn new things, and do things on our own rather than relying too much on AI. Honestly i dont think we need this innovation at all 😬 but unfortunately... That's our reality
Yes, totally. I think this is especially important for education systems everywhere. Many teachers and educators are a bit out of touch (not their fault, since no one really guides them) when it comes to teaching children in a world where AI can do so much. It’s no longer just about teaching facts; it’s about teaching kids how to think, critically evaluate information, ask questions, and create independently. Otherwise, we risk students becoming passive consumers of AI outputs rather than active thinkers and learners. I don't have kids yet but this terrifies me haha
I agree! Though i think we need to have some sort of a total reform maybe? Cause we have issues like teachers dont get paid enough, etc, and unregulated use of AI will risk amplifying/making worse issues we're already having today 😬 but yeah, cant imagine raising a kid in this age..
Loved reading this !!! I really don’t care if someone uses AI but I also don’t care if they use it.. like it’s not the same as a fast typed out piece where your brain is working way faster than your hands can type and everything’s flowing so nicely, is real, slightly imperfect - has a soul.
You just got a new subscriber !! Can’t wait to read more from you
ahh thank you so much for your kind words 🥰 definitely make the research and writing process worth it HAHAH and yess! honestly the more people boast about how AI can make things a lot more perfect and realistic the more i prefer the imperfections that humans sometimes make in their creations. imperfection is a part of being human, after all~
Sharp, thoughtful, and unsettling in the best way this captures the quiet cost of speed and automation beautifully. A powerful reflection on what we lose when we stop truly reading ✨🧠
You’re right, the world is advancing so fast it’s getting harder to keep up. Even the new generation of parents now have children looking at screens to quiet them down instead of toys or books.
Thank you!! And yes, i agree, it sucks bcs if kids aren’t encouraged to read early on, they may grow up digital savvy but struggle to focus and think deeply
Love your take on this!
thank you very much <3
Was about to say the same!
let's never stop writing! (this is both a compliment because your writing is extremely efficient and compelling; and an encouragement to beat AI's ass together)!!!!!
Ahh thank you so much, you made mu day! 🙈🙈 And yes! All the more reasons to continue writing and making things with our own hands ~
Great read!

Thanks - great to connect
Great piece - I also wrote an article about the AI in writing and how it can’t replace human experiences, emotion, depth and nuances.
Omg Karina, this is so good and so so true!! This is such an insightful take, and I couldn't agree with you more. Thanks for writing this and putting this into words. You are so talented!!

super interesting and I totally agree. If anything, AI has only made writers much more passionate about writing more than ever.
Thank you for reading! And yesss, we shouldn't stop writing! It's all the more reason to write and refine our skills

Aw. Sterile summaries. Ugh. Yes. I adore both writing and reading more intricate, sophisticated tracts. They make life so much more fun.
Thank you so much🙌🏽
Any time 😁
