I was once told, “Writing is like feeling through fingers”. And then I put my pen on paper. Typing on the keyboard gives me the same kind of pleasure. Ya, my words are instantly underlined and my friends cannot laugh at my spelling mistakes nowadays and have a long discussion about why my writing doesn’t work, “It is your spelling mistakes asshole”. These types of conversations are missed, but I still feel, really feel, and express myself while writing blogs using my fingers.

One day, dwelling on past memories, I was writing about how my mom was strict regarding pets in the house. I somehow blamed her for the “Chi-Chi” I was separated from, and I started crying a lot. My wife walked into my work desk and was surprised to see a grown-ass man crying and still continuing to type whatever was going inside my head. (Yeah then she did hug me, and started crying with me without even knowing the reason, Humans are very differently designed I guess )

So in this modern era where slowly I moved from pen and paper to digital screen, it is even harder for me to understand why people nowadays use Artificial intelligence for content production such as “writing”?

If you have come across this article searching for “how to write content using AI?” then sorry to disappoint you, this article/blog post won’t quench your thirst for that knowledge. And in mid 30’s while writing this, I am not even that old that I would completely repell the use of new technology.

Writing is more like a business these days, with more eyeballs to catch, more numbers to be made, and faster mass production of articles and stories which today are easily recognizable that they are written by a robot. I am sure in further years these AI bots will master the craft of storytelling and we will not be able to distinguish if a story is written by a human or an AI bot. But during this transition, I would like to enjoy my time expressing through my fingers what a wonderful era I was born in.

I would also like to thank the handful of readers I have now or would be ever reading this article beyond my death bed. I am glad our paths crossed and we spared a few minutes of time knowing each other’s thought process. And “hi, hello” to the future writers as well. In a time where computers are able to write a 10,000-word article in a matter of seconds, I appreciate your time to pause your life, breathe in and out, meditate, and have a slow-paced enjoyment of designing something that could create wonders in mind. Keep up the good work.

As I learn more, I am also sure I will write more about AI and how human emotions correspond to growth in new tech. But for now, at least for me, it is a slow process in a super-fast world.

See you in the next post or next life, whichever is earliest…

Signing off for now,
