From the article:

> When you’re stuck and sit there, thinking, trying to come up with what’s next, that’s the valuable part of writing.

Not just what’s next, but the question of what to write in the first place.

I’ve pointed it out before, but this idea of quiet contemplation is exactly where LLMs completely pratfall. The fewer details or instructions you give them, the less novel the output.

I can’t speak for everyone, but when I want to write a new blog post on my site, it’s precisely the opposite. I dim the lights, sit quietly, and let the neurological brownian motion machine do its thing.

Polar opposite. Too many ideas, insufficient time/motivation to give them the treatment they deserve. I'd lovingly hand craft them, but honestly quality doesn't convert, content is a slot machine, gold will fail one day and shit will strike it big the next. When the people complaining about slop stop upvoting it maybe I'll come around.
