There's More to Writing Than Information

Thursday, July 09, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

That's ^ 'The Wonder Fell Way,' incase you're new here.

A tagline to stretch before we workout. Every morning.

Objects and Artists tend to stay in motion... so a tagline first thing to tend to the tending.

The circle-slash is a poetic point and insignia. Who's waving to you? How is it the more Wonder Fell you read the more that circle-slash means to you?

Spelling means magic and writing for a good reason: They're the same thing.

My ghostly image is in that insignia waving to you. The more words of mine you read the more that symbol means to you, the more emotional content in each wave.

This site is a poet's reaction to the video game personal shopper called AI.

There's more to writing than information. There's expression. There's O/. The ghost that waves to you is why what a Large Language Model does can never be correctly defined as writing.

Now, I might have wrote an academic paper to discuss the limitations of Artificial Intelligence, or I could have no social media footprint, no online life other than these original words full of new ideas and poetry on Wonder Fell, and still have us develop a relationship.

No one writes like me; I'm not for sale in the LLM-mart. Words are our shared witness of this experience called Life. AI is a tool to help us understand how others used language so we can better use it ourselves. Humanity doesn't evolve unless our language does. Words and the quality of human life are mutually exclusive.

Language isn't recycled; it's resurrected. We learn by imitation, but mimicry is a celebration of someone else's life not our own.

Professional writers give a good example. If a young writer with dreams of being a novelist wants to learn the ways of story, it helps to study other authors. But any story written in the style of Stephen King is going to be lacking something if Mr. King himself didn't write it. It's going to be missing this: O/

Mr. King's ghost absent his style does not a story worth reading make.

Something living is communicated and stored in each word and sentence. Science tries to measure it, but needs it to do the measuring. Enumerating the power of the written word is like trying to bite your own teeth. We require the thing to do the thing.

LLM-marts are a great help, but they're never complete. Language is the living story of humanity. Always evolving with us, changing, growing, rearranging, like every molecule, plant, cloud, and raindrop.

A beautiful Summer morning sunrise in New England. Being a poet, Beauty is my business, so I tend to stay away from using the word Beautiful itself.

Because it's my work to show you.

The only thing beautiful about an LLM is the effort and ingenuity of the design teams that make them.

Thanks for making our encyclopedias into video games.

And thanks for reading. O/
