Questions About This Episode

What is Episode 492 - Writing is resistance about?

'Unlike the washing up, which I'm perfectly happy to delegate to a machine... I don't WANT to delegate my writing, because that's how I think.' Technology is great at making life easier. But sometimes, easy isn't what we really need. It's hard to resist the siren call of AI as you stare at a blank document: 'Let me write that email/post/book, I can do it really quick and it'll sound super professional.' Or, as it's more likely to put it: 'It's not cheating. It's optimizing for efficiency.' In this episode, I make the case for engaging with the mental heavy lifting of writing in a world determined to lift it for us. Doing the hard things builds capacity and it also, weirdly, makes us happier. Resistance is NOT futile. But it's going to take a bit of work.
