Herbert Lui tried using AI to help with writing—but quickly gave it up. To him, writing is a privilege:

  1. Writing something out with your own hands isn’t dumb. It may take longer, but that’s because writing helps you think better.
  2. The purpose of writing is to better understand something—and to be better understood.
  3. When someone tells him a certain idea resonated with them, he can almost always trace it back to something he wrote.
  4. Even if he hasn’t published it yet, his mind holds onto the idea—because it might one day need to be written and shared.
  5. That’s the first draft of a new story. It’s not quite finished, but it’s a place to begin shaping it. Maybe you can start from there too.

Herbert Lui 尝试了使用 AI 写作,但马上放弃了,因为他认为写作本身就是一种特权:

  1. 用自己的手把东西写下来,并不愚蠢。它可能会花更长的时间,但那是因为你通过写作提升了思考能力。
  2. 写作的目的是因为你想更好地理解某件事,也希望被更好地理解。
  3. 当有人告诉他,他们对某个想法产生共鸣时,他几乎总能追溯到他的写作。
  4. 即使他还没真正写出这篇文章,他的大脑也会一直记着这个想法,因为它可能需要在这里发表。
  5. 这就是一个新故事的初稿。它还不够完整,但他可以从这里开始继续打磨。也许你也可以。
