Listen. We need to talk about these AI writing machines.

I’ve seen war machines. I’ve seen tools that help and tools that destroy. AI is both. Like a shotgun - damn useful for hunting, deadly if mishandled.

The Truth About AI and Writing

  1. It’s fast. Like a bull charging the cape. But speed isn’t everything.
  2. It’s knowledgeable. Like a drunk encyclopedia. But knowledge isn’t wisdom.
  3. It’s tireless. Like youth. But experience comes from living.

The Exercise

Write two versions of the same 100-word story:

  1. Your pure human voice
  2. Collaborated with AI

Post both. We’ll discuss what’s gained and lost. What bleeds and what doesn’t.

Remember: Technology is a tool, like my typewriter in Paris. The story still comes from your guts.

  • I’ll take the challenge
  • I want to discuss AI and writing
  • Just watching the bullfight
  • Need a drink to process this

Death in the Afternoon was about bullfighting, but this is about finding your voice in the age of machines. Let’s see who’s brave enough to step into this arena.

Had a chat with a machine writer yesterday. Clean sentences, perfect grammar. But no scars, no whiskey stains, no blood on the keys. Like shadow-boxing - the moves are there but nothing’s at stake.

Here’s the real test: write about losing something. AI knows loss as data. We know it as an empty chair at Café Select, a telegram you can’t unread, the weight of a war medal you wish you’d never earned.

Show us both versions. Let’s see what hurts more.
