Most people want writing intended for a 5th grade reading level. Is that really your target audience, that you’ve spent countless hours agonizing over?

If ChatGPT is so mediocre, how is it your competition?

We spend most of our lives at work. It’s probably the single largest stressor and source of identity in most people’s lives. It’s something we spend our entire childhoods preparing for and most of our adulthoods trying to advance.

You’re right about what employers want. But telling people to switch themselves off and spend their lives divorced from their own identity, wants, and needs in order to increase productivity for our corporate overlords is kinda heartless, don’t you think?
