In spite of my tentative openness to a future of brain chips, we’re in 100% agreement about what generative AI is to the world of writers. They’re cybernetic performance enhancers and if you don’t have the linguistic ability to carry your thoughts, it’s plain and simple cheating to use AI as a shortcut. By the time we reach a place of brain/AI integration, though, I think we might all just need to accept that we’ve lost the ability to combat the technology.

Spectacularly said, Simon. Really enjoyed reading your thoughts here.
