AI can help both — editing and structuring performative work, and researching and sparring for cognitive work. Use AI differently for each, and never let it replace your thinking. *(Summarized by Ghostreader)* ## Significance Jorge argues that you should understand what type of writing you're doing and what that writing is doing for (or for others). Further, he argues, you should understand how AI might help or hurt your efforts for each type of writing. ## Claims & insights Claims that cite this summary (claims link here via `source`): <!-- QueryToSerialize: TABLE WITHOUT ID link(file.link, file.title) AS "Claim", confidence AS "Confidence" FROM #claim WHERE contains(file.outlinks, [[Summary - Two Kinds of Writing]]) SORT file.mtime DESC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: TABLE WITHOUT ID link(file.link, file.title) AS "Claim", confidence AS "Confidence" FROM #claim WHERE contains(file.outlinks, [[Summary - Two Kinds of Writing]]) SORT file.mtime DESC --> | Claim | Confidence | | ----- | ---------- | <!-- SerializedQuery END -->
