This is an interesting perspective “While people who have spent years cultivating their writing skills might bemoan the arrival of AI-assisted writing, there is also a much more optimistic way to view these changes. Until now, the ability to write well was inherently elitist. People fortunate enough to have the time and financial capacity to pursue higher education were better positioned to produce excellent writing.” https://www.brookings.edu/articles/ai-has-rendered-traditional-writing-skills-obsolete-education-needs-to-adapt/
