Writing is thinking
Bookmarked Writing is thinking ✍️ by Henrik Jernevad.
Writing is not just transcribing your thoughts onto a paper or screen. A lot of the thinking and learning process is embedded in the writing process. If you don’t actually do the work, you lose the opportunity to sharpen your thinking and writing skills.
It perpetually irks me whenever corporations talk about using LLMs to do this or that for us. Henrik pinpoints why in this post.
If you’re not writing, you’re not thinking. And if you’re not thinking, you’re essentially saying that you’re superfluous. Your role in whatever’s going on is merely symbolical.
Think about that before you use an LLM to do your writing again.
