  73. <p>From <a href="https://openai.com/blog/chatgpt">ChatGPT</a> to <a href="https://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2023/03/16/introducing-microsoft-365-copilot-your-copilot-for-work/">Microsoft 365 Copilot</a>, we’re seeing a wave of AIs that can write and write well.</p>
  74. <p>In a recent post, Jim Nielsen described how having AIs write for us is a trade-off:</p>
  75. <blockquote>
  76. <p>“Writing is a moment for self-reflection, for providing the space and time necessary for the conception of thoughts or feelings that can change your heart or mind. Offloading that task to AI is not necessarily a net-gain, it is a trade-off. One to make consciously.”</p>
  77. <p>Jim Nielsen - <a href="https://blog.jim-nielsen.com/2023/more-everything-with-ai">More Everything With AI</a></p>
  78. </blockquote>
  79. <p>That made me think about my own writing. If I had to break down my current writing activity (not counting code), it would look something like this:</p>
  80. <ul>
  81. <li>10% - Journaling</li>
  82. <li>10% - <a href="https://www.bryanbraun.com/blog/">Blog posts</a></li>
  83. <li>20% - Texting and Personal Emails</li>
  84. <li>10% - Meeting notes / todos</li>
  85. <li>35% - Programming notes (usually to help me work through tricky coding issues)</li>
  86. <li>15% - <a href="https://www.bryanbraun.com/books/">Book notes</a></li>
  87. </ul>
  88. <p>Could I hand any of these over to AI?</p>
  89. <p>Definitely no on the journaling and blog posts, since those are basically pure self-reflection. It’s me figuring out what I believe. I could augment that a bit with spelling and grammar check tools, but it’s hard to imagine offloading more without compromising <a href="http://www.paulgraham.com/words.html">the process</a>.</p>
  90. <p>For texting and emails I already use autocomplete and <a href="https://support.google.com/mail/answer/9116836?hl=en&amp;co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop">Smart Compose</a>. I also use Gmail templates for frequent responses, so I can’t see how I could automate this much further.</p>
  91. <p>Personal notes (for meetings, books, and coding) seems the most promising but I don’t think AI can do this for me either. When I take notes, I’m only interested in writing out the stuff that matters to me. Every book I read has a hundred summaries on the internet, each more detailed and comprehensive than mine, but I still take <a href="https://www.bryanbraun.com/books/">book notes</a> because I want to remember <a href="https://sive.rs/bfaq">what impacted me</a>. Even if an AI knew what those things were, delegating that work would defeat the purpose.</p>
  92. <p>So maybe I don’t want AIs to take over my writing but that doesn’t mean it’s useless. Autocomplete, grammar check, and Smart Compose… these tools are already AI powered. As AI tech progresses, I expect these tools to improve and become more pervasive, impacting my writing in little ways, mostly from the margins.</p>
