Daily Productive Sharing 1218 - Writing as A Privilege
Herbert Lui tried using AI to help with writing—but quickly gave it up. To him, writing is a privilege:
- Writing something out with your own hands isn’t dumb. It may take longer, but that’s because writing helps you think better.
- The purpose of writing is to better understand something—and to be better understood.
- When someone tells him a certain idea resonated with them, he can almost always trace it back to something he wrote.
- 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.
- 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:
- 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。
- 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。
- 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。
- 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。
- 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。
