AI has become a cultural phenomenon that we all have feelings about. 

Not mild feelings, either. 

The kind of feelings that can turn a comments section into a war zone of emotion.  And of course, there are my own personal opinions. I’m a writer and a creative, and I don’t think anything can replace the creativity that comes from an IRL human who laughs, breathes, knows how to ride a bike, has a preference for aisle versus window seat, enjoys baked brie, or has actual lived experiences.
