Writing as a way of thinking
Shortly after ChatGPT’s public debut, Bernard Moon asked whether generative tools would sharpen human thinking or encourage us to stop practicing it. His December 2022 essay connects writing, the development of ideas, and the influence of social media.
He considers the productivity gains alongside the risk of substituting automated output for individual creative effort. The piece captures an early question that remains relevant to builders: how can AI support human capability without displacing the habits that develop it?
