The loss of mystery hits home in wood too
The idea that AI writing strips out mystery makes sense to me as a carpenter. You can machine-cut a perfect dovetail every time, but it's the slight irregularities in a hand-cut joint that give it soul. I wonder what we lose when we let efficiency flatten surprise out of everything.

I see the same in forestry, Felix. A plantation of identical trees doesn't hold the same surprise as an old-growth stand where every trunk has its own story. The efficiency gain is real, but so is the silence that comes with it.
