Artificial Intelligence is spectacularly good at starting a sentence with the very best word possible given the context of the request. Then, after choosing that perfect first word, AI once again reviews all of the relevant written content available to determine the absolute best choice for the second word. Same again for the 3rd word and so on. The computational power (and speed) that goes into choosing one word at a time for an essay of 2000 words is beyond human comprehension. On the other hand, biological intelligence is amazingly good at picking the unexpected next word that will take the sentence, the paragraph, the chapter and the story into directions that stimulate the reader's mind almost entirely because of unexpected creativity involved. Both types of intelligence are good for writing tasks. We can never have AI without BI because eventually AI will only be reading AI generated content and that will create a spiral towards writing everything as if it was one thing.
Thank you sir for sharing insights about writing and AI.
My takeways "As long as writing addresses human issues of identity, journey, conflict, searching for self and growth versus just being about sharing data correctly spelled and edited there will be a role for writers and writing."

Of the ofttimes scary things you have written Rishad, this is the scariest.
