Good Writing Used to Prove Someone Thought. AI Killed That Forever.
For centuries, fluent writing meant someone actually thought. AI severed that link. Now every essay, email, and report exists under a shadow — is this a mind or a model?

When fluency is free, proving you actually reasoned becomes impossible.
