    > But I don't want to do that. I don't want to prompt Codex for a living, or Claude for that matter. Maybe it's because I don't even really know what that looks like. As sure as I know anything, I know what it sounds like. It sounds like a loss of craft, a loss of control, a loss of creativity.

    Why would not using tools that you don’t know how to use that don’t have the negative effects that you don’t have experience with make one sad?

    This is just complaining. If you don’t like AI, don’t use it. If it makes you sad, don’t spend time blogging and focusing on it. If you think it entails a loss of control, maybe educate yourself before smearing non-issues with tools you have never tried.
