  1. Passive voice is not a mistake. It is a tool with specific jobs.
    "The window was broken sometime before dawn." The mystery is the point. The actor vanishing is doing work.
    The real problem is passive voice you did not choose. Over 20 percent in narrative writing and you are probably hiding your actors without realizing it.

  2. @baldur Your piece is so spot-on! Two of my friends -- one a graphic artist, the other a writer -- are losing gigs to AI. I'm hoping the two of them will team up together and produce a great human-created graphic novel, but when you're struggling just to make ends meet -- well, that doesn't help one's creativity, that's for sure!

  3. 📚🤖 "I love #technology but avoid using LLMs" says publisher who desperately clings to human-written books even while secretly training #AI models like a mad scientist. 🧪📚 "I have doubts," he whispers, while cradling his machine learning degree from the prestigious Masaryk University. 🤓🎓

  4. I do like the sound of this, of human writing being respected and valued more again. A sharper divide between the "commodity" content-farm stuff and info that's worth more effort.

    Hope it comes true and not in a niche or kitsch sense, either, not like vinyl recordings, mostly a hobby now.

    Anyway, for some domains, "handmade writing", or at least hand-checked and tuned writing will still be essential. EG high-risk info to help people do their jobs.
