AI and the Decline of Original Writing
A cacophony - In the epoch of mass writing - Telegraph India · telegraphindia.com

We live in a time where everyone is writing more than ever, thanks to technology.

But with AI helping to write, it's getting harder to stand out.

People are using AI to cheat in school and even win writing contests.

This makes it harder for real artists and writers to be noticed.

The author says that while AI can help, it's important for people to keep their unique voices and not rely too much on machines.

Real learning and creativity come from personal effort, not just using AI to do the work for us.
