Writing has changed

The mechanics of writing have totally changed with AI. Since the development of AI tools that can check your grammar to a very high level of accuracy, you no longer have to worry about your work being subpar in the grammatical sense. Yet, you still have to write that piece of writing, and the voice that comes out of the work still matters (a lot). Writing has surely changed for the better, but it’s up to us not to be lazy about it and to still put forth our best efforts on this front. 

I wrote in a previous post that the development of AI may sway me to stay in my current field. I think that’s something I need to talk to my boss about. I’m not really sure. If the architecture realm is anything like the MRI, I’m sure there will be a lot of AI automation happening on those fronts as well. I don’t really know. I am taking the Making and Meaning program at SCI-Arc, and we’ll just have to see how everything goes on that front there. 

Whatever the development of AI takes, one thing’s for sure: the act of writing will never be replaced. There’s just something so therapeutic about the act of putting thoughts to words. I can’t imagine that we will ever live in a world where the writing will be done for us with machines. The mere state of owning a typewriter would be obsolete in such a world. What a scary world that would be.
