...but I'd take it with a grain of salt. The author seems like a rich asshole, and there's a lot of confirmation bias at play. Still, I'm inclined to believe the people he's interviewed when they say that this isn't a problem with any given individual.
Anyway, my recent piece on "Why You Will Always Write Better than ChatGPT" is based on the guide, which really needs to be updated. I'll come back to this thread to link you to the updated PDF guide when it's ready (probably in June), but in the meantime...
