> Because not everybody got A* in English.

Bollocks. We managed to communicate before LLMs, but now suddenly everyone needs to write like a lobotomised Hemingway?

> What we are seeing here is a Luddite reaction from artisans.

I suggest reading up on and understanding the history of the Luddites, instead of repeating the same tired thoughtless meme.

> For many writing is painful

Then do something else! Draw, dance, sing, sculpt. Figure out what isn’t painful to you and express yourself that way.

> Nobody gets on a motorbike and wins the TT in the first weekend.

And no one wins ever by getting others to run for them.



"I suggest reading up on and understanding the history of the Luddites"

Are you from West Yorkshire? I am.

I went to school in Batley and I've been past the steeple at Cooper Bridge many times.

Given much of my family were mill workers, the Luddite tale is very much part of who I am.


Every person who has ever significantly won has done it by getting others to run for them. Tell me the billionaire that earned their fortune through the work of their own hands.
