Reading and writing have served humanity well.

We can see the impact of outsourcing thinking in modernity, via the simplicity of likes and retweets.

While ChatGPT can be a helpful tool, the issue is that many will substitute rather than augment. It is a giant language averaging machine, which will bring many people up, but bring the other half down, though not quite because the upper echelons will know better than to parrot the parrot.

Summarizing a text will remove the nuance of meaning captured by the authors' words.

Generating words will make your writing blasé.

Do you think ChatGPT can converse like this?
