Does writing have any value in the age of AI?

I’m an occasional writer and an entrepreneur computer scientist. I lost my interest in writing as I got familiar with how an LLM works, how AI works cohesively, and how everyday companies, universities, or any other research institution, small to large, release new language models, speech-to-speech models, and other AI models to show their new achievement and how they could push its boundary from a little to a much.

Many published papers, from trying to optimize the process of learning ( like Direct Preference Optimization ), to offer a new architecture, to how to quantize a model to run on your computer!

and I was wondering if is it really beneficial to write my ideas down.

I think if it's for myself, it may be worth it, but for others, and the new generation, maybe these language models are better than me, at least as they have much knowledge.

I am not attached to anything, I have a scientific mentality, and the preliminary work of a good scientist is to push the human race forward and discover new things even at the cost of his own extinction.

However, I do not know what would be the ethics in the feature, I hope humanity does not devastate itself.

I recommend this video if you want to know more about the what would be the future of ethics in AI:

Anyway, I’m writing now, for many reasons, like ordering my mind to have a better idea about myself. And I think no matter where the AI carries us, this tool will be there, as long as humans exist.
