@andy_matuschak I think conversation is important and I don't address that in the article. Expository writing is like a conversation with very long latency, so you have to anticipate questions etc. ahead of time.
@andy_matuschak I think it's possible for AI to be a valuable conversation partner, but a lot of the conversation I have with AI are weirdly sterile/dead-ended. Which, you would think would not be the case, for an intelligent machine that has read every book and scientific paper.
@zetalyrae It's true.
