I used to love writing. I loved the feeling of putting my thoughts and ideas onto the page and seeing them come to life. It was a creative outlet for me, and I found it incredibly rewarding.

However, since I started using large language models to generate text and help with my writing, my feelings towards writing have changed significantly. It’s not that I don’t enjoy writing anymore, but it just doesn’t feel the same as it used to.

One of the biggest issues I have with using these language models is that it feels like more of an editorial process than a creative one. Rather than coming up with my own ideas and putting them into words, it feels like I’m just picking and choosing from a list of pre-written phrases and sentences that the model has generated for me. It’s a lot easier and faster, but it just doesn’t feel as rewarding.

Another problem is that the process feels soulless. Without the creativity and personal touch that I used to put into my writing, it just doesn’t feel like my own work anymore. It’s like I’m just going through the motions and putting words on the page without any real passion or emotion behind them.

Overall, while using large language models to generate text and aid with writing has definitely made the process easier, it’s also made it a lot less enjoyable for me. It’s just not the same as the creative, rewarding experience that I used to love.

Looking back this will be kind of obvious:
