Whether a piece of writing has a soul is decided not by 'whether it's AI,' but by 'who it was written for.'

Recently, both on X and note,
people saying things like 'writing articles with AI is cheating'
or 'using AI for paid articles is unorthodox,'
I see those kinds of voices quite often.

But I have always thought this.

Using AI isn't evil.
Writing 'text without intent' is the real sin.

■ Those who create articles by leaving everything to AI

That's their freedom.
I have no intention of criticizing how others make money.

However—
readers notice immediately.

Writing that is empty inside
does not move the reader's heart.
So it will just be weeded out on its own.

That's all there is to it.

■ But the era of AI can no longer be stopped

The world where AI creates text is irreversible.
The values that keep denying it are already old.

Nevertheless,
there are areas where AI 'absolutely cannot win no matter what.'

• Hesitation

• Mistakes

• Wavering

• Weakness

• True feelings

• Guilt

• Immaturity

• Human-specific humor

• The tremor of emotion

And—
forgiving the mistakes of others.

This is something a machine can absolutely never do.

■ There is beauty even in messy writing

In fact, I prefer
unrefined 'raw writing'.

The 'scent of a human' behind the words.
This instability can never be created by AI.

Sometimes, clumsy writing is the most beautiful.
That is writing written by a human.

■ However—do not waste the reader's time

This is the one absolute rule.

In today's world,
Netflix, YouTube, TikTok, subscriptions...
it has become a 'battle for time'.

In the midst of that,
there are people who will read your writing.

After they read it,

This is the one thing you must never let happen.

The writer is entrusted with a part of the reader's life.

It's not about whether you use AI or not.
That is the issue.

■ What the writer should face is not the tool.

It is 'who you are writing for'.

You want to express the emotions inside you as they are.
You want them to accept your instability along with it.
You want them to see the confusion in your heart.

For writing like that,
there is absolutely no need to use AI.
It can be messy.
That is actually better.

Conversely,

If you want to convey something accurately to the reader,
if you don't want to waste the reader's time,
if you want to deliver information without misunderstanding,

if that is what you think,
it is fine to use AI.

That is all there is to it.

■ My answer

From now on, I will not focus on whether or not to use AI,
but rather,

'Who is this piece of writing for?'

I will write focusing only on this.

Whether a piece of writing has a soul
is not about whether it is AI.

It is determined by 'who it was written for.'

That is everything.
