Everyone Is Wrong About AI Writing Tools

As such, I have a unique dual perspective on the topic: My "I know AI" mind and my "I write" mind have strong conflicting opinions. My AI mind constantly repeats, "don't worry, AI is dumb; it can't reason or understand." But then my writing mind says, "hey, I've had problems distinguishing GPT-3 from humans before." It's at the intersection of their views that I realize both are right--partially. On the one hand, even the most sophisticated AI writing tools are--albeit impressive--nothing more than the appearance of mastery.
