AI and the Future of Writing

This is the reading.
"Anxiety, I think, is one of the dominant emotions that humanists and writers feel about AI. Is it justified? Is it just something we should learn to live with?
MO’R I cannot answer that question for you. But what I can do is start to describe categories of what it’s like to use it and why that anxiety exists. First of all, the technology is new. Second, it’s going to displace some of what we hold most dear, such as the sanctuary of deep sustained attention, things like the possibility of the soul, of individual expressiveness. I believe in language as an art—as a place for thinking that isn’t transactional or corporatized, that allows for opacity, resistance, and difficulty. AI threatens that. It’s a kind of productivity amplifier in a world where we were already organized around overproduction. Third, when I go online now, I am surrounded by manufactured language, which is deadening. It threatens something I find important."

Questions-
What is inaccessible to AI that writers and philosophers have? Is this difference a difference of category or a difference of degree?

Is AI's harvesting of commonly used language simply on a continuum with the move towards English, Spanish, Chinese as the Lingua Francas?
Is AI designed by people who see lowest common denominator productivity as the highest end? Who should art be made by, if tech people have the wrong attitude toward it's production?

The conversation in the Yale Review is rich.
We can spin quite far from it, though. Hope to see you there!
