Gergely Orosz says many of the most AI-enthusiastic people at AI labs write their own posts instead of letting AI do it, to keep thinking. He says many less AI-enthusiastic people let AI take over their writing, and that this shows in their thinking.
Many of the most “AI-pillled” people working at AI labs do their own writing and not let AI do it at all. They do it so they do NOT stop thinking (and they don’t)
Meanwhile so many people less “AI-pilled” just have AI take over their writing. They DO stop thinking and it shows
i love writing. i never let agents write for me. whether it's docs, or tweets, or shitposts, or even prompts (okay maybe that one's harder as agents manage other agents) there's a simple reason for that: i still strongly believe that writing is thinking. it's a skill i hope to never give up. it's also important to me that whatever i say is always authentic, mistakes and all. my favorite posts are the ones that i just full send without any editing i suspect it also helps with prompting. being able to clearly express what i want, and knowing the vocabulary i need to be able to direct my agents does seem to make for more effective usage of agents. in the same way that engineers have an advantage when we prompt agents to write code, because we are intimately familiar with the words that make up the discipline knowing the right word incantations to get an agent to produce a desired goal almost feels like spellcasting. as models get more capable, and that input box looks more and more like a magic box that can output anything, words become the interface between you and the genie there may come a time when we give up the keyboard in exchange for brain-computer interfaces. but until then, i'm writing every word.View quoted post on X
