The most important letters and messages I have written in my life have never been sent.

A important thing to realize about writing (especially given the current technological advances) is:

Writing is more than just the production of text for other peoples consumption. Writing is an excellent tool to structure thoughts and feelings. Writing isn't just you formulating messages with intent, it is also the text radiating back at you while you write.

LLMs are great to lift the burden of writing bullshit texts or as a (hopefully critical) sparring partner, but we need to realize that a lot of the value of writing is that we structure our thoughts and feelings through it and letting someone else do it takes something from us.
