The man has written countless novels, screenplays, pieces of journalism, started McSweeney's, and founded multiple schools and nonprofits that support writers and the arts more broadly.
Nauti's Take
For teams using ChatGPT in writing workflows, the first check is simple: does the process still produce original thinking, or just faster average copy. If you roll AI into education, editorial work, or knowledge tasks, measure drafts, source work, and feedback loops separately, or you will spot the quality drop only after style, judgment, and learning have already flattened.
