NGL, that's a pretty rapid progression in motives, kudos for finding more inherent reasons for writing

We all have different reasons to write, and they are changing faster than ever.
But if we are blinded by the objectives of our work, we lose sight of what writing is: a process, an expression, a branch of ourselves extended to others.

maybe that's why I detest AI slop writing so much.

Thanks for the comment. Yes, I think the rapid progression in motivation was brought on by the light-fast changes in digital publishing, social media, and AI.

I, too, detest slop (even research dumps and article outline). The fucking hubris and wankerish phrasing of Claude does my nut in!
