Stephen Lanahas offers five reasons why he won't let AI write for him: because AI is a lousy writer, because AI's need real writing to be trained on, because of potential cognitive decline, because old writers will be needed to teach the next generation, and because he has a personal goal not to help anyone become a trillionaire. For those who wonder, I also do not use AI to write (I use it for other tasks, like coding software and adaptive cruise control) but mostly not for these reasons (except maybe a bit of the second: I want AI to learn as much from me as I learn from it). No, it's mostly because I have what AI will never have: my own opinions and experiences (sure, the AI may eventually have it's own opinions and experiences, but it can never duplicate mine). Now it is a bit of presumption on my part to suppose my opinions and experiences are worth sharing, but that's a different issue.
