Writing using AI

• There are no lossless transformations of natural-language text — Sophie Alpert
  • A great “ethos” that I have taken on:
    • You must stand behind every idea and sentence you write with AI assistance.
    • Writing is thinking, and teaches you about your topic.
    • More time should be spent authoring a document than consuming it.
    • Longer content is not better.
• Should You Use AI for a Task? Here’s a Simple Way to Decide — Bruce Schneier
  • Explains the impact of AI on how students do assignments and groups tasks into two broad buckets:
    • Work tasks: use whatever tools you need to get to the outcome; how you get there isn’t important.
    • Gym tasks: how you get there is the whole point.
