Why AI Isn’t Killing Writing (It’s Making It Better)

The counterintuitive benefits of AI in content creation

“AI is going to kill writing!”

I’ve now read this proclamation everywhere on the Internet.

It’s plastered across Reddit forums, dominating Twitter threads, and sparking heated debates on LinkedIn. Medium itself is flooded with writers complaining about crap AI-generated content.
