It references historical figures like Enheduanna, Plato, and Aristotle to illustrate how writing has long been seen as something that influences and transforms experience and shapes the future.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>AI and Emotionless Writing<\/strong>: While AI can generate texts with creativity, it lacks the emotional and experiential depth of human writers. Enheduanna\u2019s plea that influenced real-world events contrasts with AI text that, despite its ability to sway opinions, does not engage with emotions to the same degree.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Function Over Form<\/strong>: Philosophers like Plato and Aristotle emphasize writing\u2019s role in transformation rather than mere information transfer. They highlight that good writing should move and inspire rather than just tell. This capacity to transform and inspire is something AI-generated text is thought to lack.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Risk of Blandification<\/strong>: With AI\u2019s growing popularity, there\u2019s a concern about the &#8220;blandification&#8221; of writing; AI text often lacks a distinct voice, which could cause a convergence in people&#8217;s thinking styles, dulling the dynamic and persuasive qualities of writing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Alternative Terms for AI Output<\/strong>: Considering the differences between human writing and AI-generated content, the author suggests the term &#8220;generwrite&#8221; for AI-generated text to distinguish it from traditional writing. This emphasizes the unique qualities that human authors bring to their work.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Is AI really \u2018writing\u2019?
