- Reading AI-generated content feels like a trick, evoking offense, sadness, and contempt for authors who use AI to write.
- Defending AI-assisted writing by claiming 'ideas are mine, writing is AI's' is flawed because ideas and writing are inseparable.
- Ideas are vague and nebulous; writing is the process that concretizes and refines them, revealing flaws and contradictions.
- Writing is the ultimate form of thinking, not a mere transcription of pre-formed ideas.
- AI-generated text shifts the burden of critical thinking to readers, who must verify coherence.
- The issue is not AI capability but the dishonesty and irresponsibility of humans who rely on AI to produce generic, unoriginal output.
