Personal > generic: the human touch in AI texts and “the balance of the force”
I’m doing an AI course developed by IBM about LLMs, GenAI, and all this s. And I’m more and more sure that these new “AI agents” will handle it alright.
So, we talk, we’re productive, we’re fellows even. Honestly, I find it amusing to add “pls,” “thx,” and all kinds of short appreciations — and even negative emotions too. That’s truly nice. And it works! We can build, edit, optimize, adapt. Developer experience is useful, but imho not essential. Digital experience and creativity are much more required. Ideation and talented writing create designs of higher quality and value.
The writer’s ability in the age of AI
AI is far from the end of creativity — what a melancholic statement — it’s at least the start of a new method. Developers can use AI as a productive partner, but the values now are slightly updated. We need proper perspective and story flow. This is the requirement for achievements. Computing is already advanced. What matters is not only technical skills but the human direction that outweighs countless technical actions.
Beyond the algorithm is storytelling
AI can generate passable content, but true storytelling requires resonance, tension, and meaning. Writers can lean into their unique lived experiences, emotions, and imagination to create work that algorithms mostly replicate only primitively. Though, imho, it’s just a matter of time.
Why writing is becoming !
As AI automates code, design drafts, and business tasks, the rarest skill left is the ability to communicate clearly and compellingly. Writing well becomes the universal meta-skill for leaders, entrepreneurs, and creators. It drives richer outcomes.
From typing to telling: how creativity evolves
You can use quirky, even “troll” language — AI will interpret it quite masterfully in most cases. We may no longer need to type every word, but shaping narratives, structuring meaning, and making people feel something remain timeless skills. The shift is from being “writers of words” to “directors of stories.” And that will definitely shape major digital trends in the near future.
The future belongs to writers who are personal
Quite pathetic, isn’t it? But it has always been like that. Journalism and technical writing are not the same things. True, AI excels at generic text, but it struggles with specificity, intimacy, and voice. Writers can and should go deeper into memories, cultural commentary, personal storytelling, and humor as forms of de-homogenization. Meanwhile, AI tends to focus on superficial content that is dry, cool, technological, and “robotic” — a nice option, sometimes needed.
The new role of ego
We need generic content, and we need talented authors. What about the hybrid? Ego plays a strange role in this new creative era. On the one hand, writers must let go of their ego to truly collaborate with AI — to edit, remix, and accept machine suggestions without feeling diminished. On the other hand, it’s the very sense of self — the writer’s ego, voice, perspective — that makes the work valuable in the first place. Stripped of ego, the text likely becomes generic; infused with it, the text becomes human. Balancing humility to use the tool and confidence to imprint identity is perhaps the new definition of being a pro and a sly for tradition. Heh.
Dualism of the machine content
The public mainly prefers sharp, brave outlooks and direct, valuable insights that bring solutions and entertainment. AI often produces milder results. Yes, we can tweak it for deeper insights and style, but it requires effort. Still, the robot is ultra-useful in technical solutions and computing. It’s able to provide magic when applied properly. A skillful writer/editor can manage it very effectively. Balancing between content and solutions is crucial.
So go on
Imho, that’s really awesome. Predicted future profit is development advancement. Like, you won’t have to code — just tell your story, discuss it, and get a marvellous response. Those predictions about software development industry transformation are likely to come true. But then, will users even need apps anymore? Why would they, if they have the best servant ever right in the palm of their hand — or better yet, an invisible private essence that listens and provides.
