This is another thing about AI - it lacks a history. And historically, that can be very dangerous

I'm convinced that the single greatest challenge for any ambitious person is eliminating the guilt associated with free time and rest.

I keep thinking about the doorman fallacy Rory Sutherland keeps referring to. A hotel can replace a doorman with an automatic door and call it efficiency. On paper, it saves money. But the balance sheet only sees one job: opening the door. It does not see everything else the doorman was doing. He was security. He was status. He was recognition. He was the first human signal that this place is cared for. He noticed who came in. He made regular guests feel known. He made strangers feel watched. He made the hotel feel like a hotel. This is the danger of cost cutting. It often removes value that was never measured. Many businesses make this mistake. They define a human role too narrowly, automate the visible function, and then wonder why the experience feels worse. A receptionist is not just answering calls. A call center agent is not just closing tickets. A postman is not just delivering letters. Human beings carry invisible value. They create trust, warmth, reassurance, and memory. These things are hard to quantify, so finance departments treat them as waste. But customers don't behave like numbers inside an excel sheet. They live with feelings and emotions that are hard to measure. And sometimes the thing you remove to save cost was the thing that made people trust you.

People will talk about syntax and em dashes or whatever the markers of a current model are taken to be. But the real signature of literary AI is when it feels somehow overwritten and underwritten at the same time

Yes! In grad school we called it "creative cross-training," which i like for the practical comparison of creative habits to muscles

I can't find it now but recently saw someone describe being an interdisciplinary artist as "doing crop rotation on your brain" and I can't think of a better descriptor
