Currently writing a college essay on the loss of writing's originality, as you describe. I find myself returning to Orwell, whose "Politics and the English Language" outlines the failure of such constricting models of writing with a clairvoyant sense of anticipation. It seems as though AI has accelerated an already lost cause. Thank you for the inspiration with this piece; although, of course, I'm only going off what my AI-assisted summary tells me.
… I’ve been thinking about this too (!)… as the marinating, waiting for content to gel seems to be more and more an internal argument between; ‘Wait for ripeness’ and ‘Get it clear’. Maybe this has become an awful retelling of the 2 wolves ( the one you feed gets the oomph)-
But, as ever, you honor more the wanderer, the holder of the ball of string in the maze above the trophy at the end. Thank you - and Happy holidays. amigo.

Thank you for reading. (And I hope the summary at least left the em dashes in there.)
Brilliant. Could you elaborate on how AI's purchase shapes our knowin, beyond simply alterin access and speed?
Thank you. I may address the issue you suggest in a future piece. We’ll see — stay tuned.
This essay is a gift. "1000" forced me to read beyond my "interests," and now I learn I am permitted to write beyond my certainties. Thank you.
Thank you for reading it. I am glad to know it resonated with you. Best wishes for the new year!

Thank you, Ellen. Enjoy the season, and the new year—we both have lots of work to do!
