But is this really a bad thing? There are bad writers with good ideas, unknown because they can’t write well. And writing well doesn’t necessarily correlate with high quality ideas (you just think they are high quality when you read them).


I think the issue here is we are defining high quality like a 'like' button. One dimension isn't going to work here. Quality is a multiaccess statistic.

Access: Could be in the best thing in the universe, but if I can't access it, well it's useless.

Translational: Is this a conversion to a new language that is accurate?

Written prose: Does it use an appropriate language and set of words for its intended audience?

Ideal quality: Is this presenting new ideas? Is it presenting old idea in a better or more consistent way?


In fact, bad writers with good ideas might benefit tremendously from AI tools.
