Essayist: AI hasn't taken my writing job — but it's living rent-free in my head
AnnaCiaunica · x · 2026-10-29
In Big Think's fall print issue, writer Jasna Hodžić describes how generative AI has reshaped her cognition as a writer — even when she isn't using it. "I didn't need a neurological study to tell me AI was doing something to my cognition and that it wasn't good." The essay explores how AI's predictive style has been internalized into the writing mind, a shift distinct from the job-displacement debate.
