Are you even human if you have not faced the fear of an empty paper?

I worry about the fading away of this valuable creativity-stimulating classic experience. Furthermore, I don’t understand why we would ever want to get rid of it.

In a business context you should already know what you want to say and express it as concisely as possible, so that those reading the document don’t feel compelled to use AI to try to guess the original three bullet points that you fed to your AI in some non-sensical lossy reverse-compression scheme.

In academia the act of writing is equivalent to thinking, which is most of the job. In journaling your unique experience and perspective is the whole point, as with social media too, by extension, along with your expertise.

In creative writing it is precisely the struggle and suffering of staring at that empty paper that forces you to go out there in the world to find inspiration or go down paths you would not otherwise even have entertained, leading to the discovery of previously unheard stories.

Thus, I fail to see a single good use case for that “Generate document” button in Google Docs. Am I missing something or just behind the times already?

Should we forget about the frictional process of thinking and the associated struggle and universally embrace purposeless slop all around us, or is there still a point to the act of writing?
