People tend to realize @Steve_Yegge was right 6-12 months later. Once I figured this out, I listen to him when he says stuff. Like this:

"Having a fit brain will be a key differentiator in the new era. Just do more of [writing], every day, to get in shape and stay in shape."

## Quoted post @Steve_Yegge

> @GergelyOrosz is right. From my pov there are two reasons to write your own stuff, even if it's a struggle. First, it's fitness training for your brain. If you struggle to write, your brain is flabby. Having a fit brain will be a key differentiator in the new era. And second, we would all rather read your "bad" writing than polished AI writing. Trust me on this one. We can spot even one sentence of AI writing and it stinks. Your bad writing is fine. Just do more of it, every day, to get in shape and stay in shape.
