My hope is that equivocating waffle will look so much like ChatGPT that humans will have to write clearly and precisely to differentiate ourselves and we can put this horrible era of essay writing style behind us.

Though I’m starting to think that AI might improve faster than us so there might only be a diminishing margin of opportunity left to do this.

We’ll have AI tools to take our bullet-points and expand them into prose (crappy now, eventually beautiful prose). Then we’ll use AI tools to summarize that prose into bullet points.

Eventually we’ll realize we can just send the bullet points and generate the prose on the receiving side. This will be great because most of the time the AI’s will be able to say “let’s just be a nop.”

Reminds me of the SMBC comic https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=3576 that explores the idea further.

I am less optimistic than the comic.
