Post no. 12 : Blaugust 2025 - Nostalgia The years fly by in the blink of an eye. We don’t really understand this until time progresses — when enough years have gone by to give weight to memories, dreams, mortality. When you see children grow, saying goodbye to who they once were, rejoicing in who they are becoming. When you realize some people in the room can no longer relate to your stories, for your reality began in ways they will never comprehend. So, you let go. The years fly by in...| Konfetti Explorations Feeds

I started writing before the generative AI became popular. Even a simple article always took me a lot of time to write. Nowadays, authors can produce1 and publish high-quality content faster than ever before, with almost zero effort. On the other hand, consumers no longer have to search and browse the Internet for the answers – they can generate curated content on almost any topic just for themselves. If any answer can be instantly generated by an LLM, what’s the point of writing?| Szymon Krajewski
