“people who subscribe to this newsletter will actually get to read things that would otherwise have stayed unfinished forever.”

I am not a fan of AI as you know. We must all figure out our relationship to tools and tricks. The sentence above stuck out to me as a woman. My kind, we release an egg, a potential of the universe, every month for the bulk of our life. While an essay is not a person, it is a potential. And some things aren’t meant to come to life if there isn’t a great deal of effort, love, and desire to launch and sustain them. The struggle, the aura as you say. It is like accepting death in this way, the human limitations of creation, to say goodbye to so many potentials. And maybe tech is ‘good’ in a sense of credits and debits to evolution, because it is happening and who can argue against reality? But those of us hungry for the most human experience around can tell the difference.
