I think I know the problem with using AI for writing: Even if you manage to get the AI to produce something good, you have no relationship to the words it's written You neither care about them, nor dislike them, nor believe them, nor disbelieve them. You neither love nor hate them You have no connection – intellectual, emotional, or somatic – with the chunk of text that's magically appeared before your eyes And this is a problem because all human motivation is based on caring If you don't care about a piece of text, you can't build on it, nor do you even have the motivation to critique or argue against it That chunk of text acts like an anti-memetic mass – it slides out of your mind as easily as it slid in, which makes it impossible to remember or integrate into your thinking There's no friction, and thus no sticking points for your mind to grab ahold of And yet, you also feel attached to it somehow. Because you did, in a way, sacrifice something in order to produce it – you sacrificed your creative process It feels like an asset, but it's an asset that actively consumes and destroys other, more valuable assets, such as time, attention, focus, and imagination It's like having a little back hole in your pocket, that you know is sucking in all the information and attention you have available into its event horizon Yet you can't bring yourself to throw it away, because you keep wondering if somehow, maybe, that black hole could be put to use. Maybe you can figure out a way to reverse the entropic tide and get it to cough up all the precious things it's destroyed But the more time passes, the less likely you'll ever get out more than you put in Like a gambler doubling down on their losing bet again and again, you can only go deeper into attentional debt because the pain of cutting your losses is too painful to face

Can anyone point to a single place where Muslims coexist peacefully with other religions?

Just FYI
