Rediscovering writing
Weird benefit of the proliferation of AI writing is that my weird eccentricities in writing are now marks of sophistication rather than marks of degeneracy. Before I couldn't be bothered to learn all the proper standard ways to write things. To conform to a perfect platonic ideal of written communication. Now that AI has mastered that platonic ideal and using AI is a signal of low effort the more obvious it is that your writing is not that platonic ideal the more obvious it is that you have put in effort to craft a thing.
This has made it a little more enjoyable for me to craft messages, forum posts, etc then it was before. Where I once sounded weird, now I sound genuine and 'real'.
My writing will probably go more and more off the rails in the future. Before AI I was trying to correct for eccentricities. Now the guardrails are gone. I gotta lean into the weirdness!
Its made me more interested in getting back into writing stories. I don't think I'm the first to have this observation, but in a world where everything can be perfect, the imperfect becomes more interesting.
It is for this reason I think that, in the coming years, we're going to see a huge resurgence in music recorded without a click track and keeping studio trickery to a minimum. Even music performed by human beings will sound like it could have been AI-generated if it's been ruthlessly quantized, sample-replaced and Auto-Tuned. Warts-and-all music is going to come back in style. It wouldn't surprise me if people go so far as to deliberately play their instruments slightly out of tune just to prove they had no LLM assistance.
