Romero said, "The writers in the workshop unanimously agreed that AI-powered writing won’t replace writers anytime soon."

But isn't it inevitable that AI will replace writers at some point? I don't claim to know when, but isn't it likely to happen sooner than we expect? So, writers all over the Net are very enthusiastically writing about tools that will, sooner or later, put them all out of business. Has it occurred to AI programmers yet that AI will put them out of business too? Intellectual elites??

It looks to me that there are major denial defense mechanisms at play here all across the intellectual world. As a follow on to Don't Look Up, the next movie should be Don't Look At The Code.

Phil, I think one of my other articles answers to some of your questions. I don't see if you read that one, so here's the link: https://thealgorithmicbridge.substack.com/p/everyone-is-wrong-about-ai-writing

Please, let me know what you think of my arguments there.
