Policy Expert Clarifies AI's Relative Advantages in Long-Form Writing

Because of its speed, AI's advantage over humans on long-form written content (papers, articles, literature reviews) seems larger than its advantage on short-form content (tweets, short Substack posts). For this reason, I'd expect the "best" tweets to stay human longer.

This is also why I feel like it's especially important that my tweets be written by me (not AI), but I don't feel like I need to make the same commitment for other types of writing. I've many times considered making some kind of commitment to this effect, but chosen not to.

Sorry: I didn’t mean to claim that AI today has an absolute advantage on these types of tasks for long-form writing, I meant that it’s the type of task where it’s relative advantages shine most
