Beautifully articulated tension here. The distinction between capability living in the tools vs living in the judgment that shaped them is the real insight. I've watched alot of creatives spiral when theyre too precious about "authentic" process, but you're naming something different, the fear isnt about purity its about whether the system you've built to match your cognition can be rebuilt if the infrastructure vanishes. That calibration work you describe feels more like tuning an instrument than offloading creation.
Hi Katie, thanks for this - I appreciate what you share about your wrestle with work and how AI really unlocked something for you, made the work exciting. Re: the journey of the writer from observation to language not being sacred, I think that one is open to discussion!
This is so brilliant, like how much do you truely think AI reshapes our sense of self, you're incredibly insightful!

I liked when you talked about straddling two worlds, the AI hype feed and the normies. I'd love to hear more about that.
