What this subject means

writing Prose as thinking: writing well, writing by hand while a model offers to do it, and who will still be able to.

Why does writing matter, now that a model can write for you?under our view: Writing your own words keeps the mind fit, and handing them to a model hands over the thinking

What Steve Yegge actually said

    From my pov there are two reasons to write your own stuff, even if it's a struggle. First, it's fitness training for your brain. If you struggle to write, your brain is flabby. Having a fit brain will be a key differentiator in the new era.
