Agreed. This short target piece is an amusing Luddite rant. No true content other than to bemoan our first stumbling steps toward using AI to write and think.

I am a reasonably good (but sloppy) writer and use Claude to help improve my text, my ideas, and the flow of sentences and paragraphs. A huge help once I have a good first draft. I treat Claude like a junior editor who is useful but requires a tight leash and sharp advice.

This thoughtless piece is like complaining about getting help from professional human editors: a profession nearly killed off over the last three decades.

Who can afford $50/hr human editorial services? Not me. Claude is a great “second best” and way faster and cheaper.
