Note on If You Let AI Do Your Writing, I Will Come to Your House and Kill You via Sam Kriss

People whose brains have been eaten by LLMs still maintain that ‘It’s not gradient, it’s texture’ or whatever is still their idea, expressed by the machine, but there is almost never any idea there at all. If your ideas were any good, you wouldn’t need to use the machine; as it stands your sub-literate scrawlings are the best thing about you. At least they’re yours.

But you people don’t listen. However bad a writer you think you are, you are not worse than AI. But you still keep letting it do your writing for you, as if I won’t be able to tell. Listen: I can tell. I can always tell. You think I won’t notice, but I will. There’s no hiding from me. If you let AI do your writing I will find out, and I will kill you.

I love Sam’s writing.

I want people to enjoy my writing. That’s why I write it myself.

I have taken to having LLMs check my writing and critique it, but I write it myself. At least then, if someone is moved, I moved them.
