Re: "Avoiding AI is neoliberal purity culture" discourse
The main reason I avoid AI is because I've never been impressed by a use case. I've never seen AI do something and been like "OMFG I need to do that!"
What Cory Doctorow has outlined is a fine way to use self-hosted AI for grammar correction. As a professional writer, we can see why he would want to speed up this process.
But also? I don't need AI for this, all my first drafts are perfect the first time. ASK MY EDITOR!
