Will AI replace writing?

One of these pieces is AI generated. And the other, human.

Will AI replace writing?
A long time ago, a person reached out on LinkedIn with a compelling proposition

‘You seem to write regularly on LinkedIn, have a full time job and are a parent. You must find it hard to find time’, he sympathised

‘That true. But you tend to find time to do what you are passionate about’, I replied.

‘We are starting an agency that ghost writes for folks. We analysed your content and wrote posts for you around tech – a topic you write a lot about,’ he offered.

At first glance, to his due credit, it was factually well written content. What troubled me was not just outsourcing an area of passion – but more-so the fact that, the writing didn’t seem to be ‘me’.

People have a signature over what they produce – include how they write.
Over time, you can even recognise if your friend isn’t the one chatting with you.

That is what makes writing unique – not just stringing together a set of words but evoking an emotion.

And that explains why I am largely positive about how #generativeAI, if used well, will not just be net positive in helping our kids learn but also complement human force.

Not replace it.

Here is 🇺🇦 Eddie Shleyner‘s very topical example –
‘Can you describe meeting your first child’.

Which response do you think is AI generated?
