The AI identifies high-entropy clusters – the precise points where unique insights and \"blood\" reside – and systematically replaces them with the most probable, generic token sequences. What began as a jagged, precise Romanesque structure of stone is eroded into a polished, Baroque plastic shell: it looks \"clean\" to the casual eye, but its structural integrity – its \"ciccia\" – has been ablated to favor a hollow, frictionless aesthetic.\n\nI generally agree here. I sometimes use AI as an advanced spell and grammar check, but offloading your writing to it never really works out for creative writing.",
