Interesting point:

Using copilot or even chatbots to (help with) writing code means you don't have to look on stackoverflow anymore.

Which drives you out of this community—you don’t go there *for* help.

Which also means you're not contributing to this community—you don't go there *to* help.

So in the end, it renders the community superfluous. It essentially destroys this community

#in2writing #Consequences

I'm at #CHI2023 , first big conference since some time. Looking forward to the workshop #in2writing!

Monday morning is for publication announcements:

For the workshop #in2Writing (co-located with #SIGCHI in April in Hamburg) I wrote a position paper: "Writing Tools: Looking Back to Look Ahead"

I argue that new writing tools should be inspired by "failed" projects from the 1970s and 1980s
