It is a dying practise. Even as automation bludgeons narrative salience and nuance into the cognitively and culturally low-functioning relational slurry that it has now become, our thought patterns and socioeconomic reflexes adapt and align along with it.
Try writing without AI. Feel the difference. That is natural intelligence. That is life.

Writing without AI is certainly more satisfying for the writer.

Yes, Mike, you are (and have clearly always been, as evidenced in your own words, here and elsewhere) characteristically, and eloquently, perceptive and insightful.
AI will not make anyone smarter, per se; it amplifies whatever cognitive scaffolding and conceptual potential is (or is not!) already there. For most people, that means becoming more suggestible, more certain of less, and more dependent on a technological field they barely understand. The danger is not intelligence uplift but a seductively efficient brittleness—an environment where ease masquerades as insight and where reliance on machine-mediated patterns quietly erodes the capacity to think, question, and doubt on one’s own.
AI is, under most probable (as common) use cases, a collective function of performative human self-retardation. Expect more of the same. 🤷♂️
