And boy, are my readers invested in letting me know about my typos.

So until I fix it, I'm answering emails about it.

And each one takes 15 minutes.

So if I can just like fix the typo before I publish, it's great.

People are always like, what's your typo finding prompt?

My typo finding prompt is find typos.

And look, I've been telling my spell checker to go to hell for 35 years.

A lot of those typos aren't typos.

That's not new.

As a worker choosing my automation, I can improve my quality.

But if you were to take every suggestion the AI gave you, oh God, I have a collaborator that wants to write with me.

We sometimes work on things using Office 365 and Microsoft has got this chatbot that makes pro suggestions.

These are the worst pro suggestions I've ever seen.

If you clicked yes on 10% of them, it would be like you'd had a catastrophic brain injury, right?

Terrible.

So you have to be a good writer to use it.

That's my point.

You have to be a good radiologist to use a radiology chatbot.

You have to be a good writer to use the writer's chatbot.

And so this fantasy that you fire a bunch of people and replace them with less skilled people who charge you less money to get the same output, it's ridiculous.
