Like this AI post a lot because it tells the threat that AI poses and then you include a chatbot response to bring out how AI feels about the dangers it presents to human-born writers. It's response is so shamelessly lifeless. One of your best writing advices is for us to write about what we most care about. Ai cannot care very much or not at all about anything because it is not alive and not human born. AI could rewrite "The Year of Fog" but the intense concern of a mother for her lost daughter could not be easily recreated and whatever it wrote would ring so hallow or empty compared to the real deal emotion or feeling.

Thank you, Larry! And I really appreciate that nod to The Year of Fog. Yes, right now what AI can do feels empty and processed. I'm concerned that it will improve so exponentially so fast that eventually it may be able to replicate emotive language.
